Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3. Indira Sagar Lake, located in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh, is recognized as India's largest man-made reservoir and its largest island lake. This distinction arises from the creation of numerous islands within the reservoir following the damming of the Narmada River.
The lake features Hanuwantiya Island, which has been developed into a major water tourism destination. While other states have significant lakes, they do not hold this specific title:
- Odisha (Orissa) houses Chilika Lake, which is India's largest brackish water lagoon, but not classified as the largest island lake.
- Andhra Pradesh features Kolleru and Pulicat, which are major wetlands/lagoons.
- Assam is known for Majuli, the world's largest river island, but it is situated in the Brahmaputra River, not within a lake.
Therefore, due to the vast expanse of the Indira Sagar reservoir and its unique island topography, Madhya Pradesh is the correct geographical location.
