RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Wular Lake

Wular Lake, located in the Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir, is formed by the flow of the Jhelum River and is recognized as the largest freshwater lake in India.

Dal Lake is a smaller, well-known lake in Srinagar, Loktak Lake in Manipur is notable for its floating phumdis but is smaller in area, and Chilika Lake in Odisha is actually India's largest lagoon, a brackish water body, not a freshwater lake.

Hence, Wular Lake is the largest freshwater lake in India.
