  1. A.Govind Sagar : Satluj
  2. B.Kolleru Lake : Krishna
  3. C.Ukai Reservoir : Tapi
  4. D.Wular Lake : Jhelum
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. Kolleru Lake : Krishna

Kolleru Lake is a large freshwater lake in India that is located in Andhra Pradesh. It is a natural eutrophic lake formed by the natural adjoining of two sea bay-like depressions, with several villages located on the mainland on its periphery. The lake is fed by several streams and canals, but it is not primarily associated with the Krishna River. The other options correctly match the reservoir/lake with the river it is situated on or fed by.
