Which one of the following lakes forms an international boundary between Tanzania and Uganda?
- AChad
- BMalawi
- CVictoriaCorrect
- DZambezi
Explanation
Lake Victoria is the correct answer because it is the largest lake in Africa and is shared by three countries: Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. The international boundary between Tanzania and Uganda runs directly through the northern part of the lake.
Option A, Lake Chad, is located in North Central Africa and shared by Chad, Cameroon, Niger, and Nigeria. Option B, Lake Malawi, forms a border between Malawi, Tanzania, and Mozambique, but not Uganda. Option D, Zambezi, is a river rather than a lake. Therefore, Lake Victoria is the only one that fits the criteria of forming a boundary between Tanzania and Uganda.
