Which type of lake is formed by volcanic activities?
Explanation:

ANS. (C) 
Lakes which form inside calderas (a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption) are called caldera lakes. These lakes form as the created depression is filled by water.  For example, Lake Pinatubo, Philippines, formed after the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo filled the depression with water from monsoon rains.
