Option 1: Lonar Lake, Maharashtra. This lake is located in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra. Lonar Lake is a unique and scientifically important lake because it was formed by a meteor impact around 50,000 years ago. The impact created a crater that gradually filled with water, forming the lake. Lonar Lake is known for its high saline and alkaline content, which is similar to the composition of the lunar surface. It is believed that Lonar Lake`s water contains a large quantity of a substance found on the Moon, possibly referring to minerals like basalt or other extraterrestrial elements. The presence of such substances makes Lonar Lake an excellent site for scientific study and research.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, Lonar Lake, Maharashtra.
