Correct Answer: Ox-Bow Lake


Solution : The correct option is Ox-Bow Lake .

When a large meander from a river's main stem splits to form a lake, a U-shaped body of water known as  Ox-Bow Lake is generated, since it has a distinctively curved shape like a portion of an oxen yoke, this landform is known as Ox-Bow Lake.
