I had been asked this question in semester exam.

I need to ask this question from Lakes in division Physiographic Features of Engineering Geology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Presence of an outlet

The explanation: Water of such lakes is characterized with a high content of salts. This becomes possible due to absence of an outlet and/or an excessive rate of evaporation, which leads to the heavy concentration of salts in the lake water.
