Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) None
None of the three water-bodies lies on the Equator: Lake Tanganyika spans about 3°–9° S, Tonlé Sap is around 13° N, and Patos Lagoon is near 31° S. Hence the Equator passes through none of them. ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanganjikasee?utm_source=openai))
