{'loktak lake': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'himachal pradesh': [6, 1, 6, 4], 'manipur': [2, 1, 1, 1], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'sikkim': [1, 0, 0, 4], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

Loktak Lake is situated in Manipur, which is the correct answer (option 3). It is important to understand the geography of each option to eliminate the incorrect ones and arrive at the correct answer.

Option 1: Sikkim - Loktak Lake is not situated in Sikkim. Sikkim is a landlocked state in northeastern India and does not have any major lakes.

Option 2: Himachal Pradesh - Loktak Lake is not situated in Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh is also a landlocked state in northern India and does not have any major lakes.

Option 4: Meghalaya - Loktak Lake is not situated in Meghalaya either. Meghalaya is a state in northeastern India, famous for its hilly terrain and abundant rainfall, but it does not house Loktak Lake.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Manipur. Loktak Lake, which is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, is located in Manipur. It is famous for its floating phumdis (mass of vegetation) and is a significant tourist attraction in the region.
