Answer
Correct Answer: (C), (A), (D), (B)
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We must order a lake, a river, a sea, and an ocean from smaller/local to largest/global scale.
Given Data / Assumptions:Chilka is a lagoon/lake; Brahmaputra is a major river; Bay of Bengal is a sea; Atlantic is an ocean.
Concept / Approach:Lakes are local basins; rivers are larger linear systems; seas are subdivisions of oceans; oceans are the largest bodies.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Chilka (C) → Brahmaputra (A) → Bay of Bengal (D) → Atlantic (B)Verification / Alternative check:Rivers typically feed seas; seas are part of oceans.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They misplace sea/ocean or river/lake ordering.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing a river’s length with the areal extent of seas/oceans.
Final Answer:(C), (A), (D), (B)
