The sudden burst of which of the following lakes was one of the major factors of flash flood in the Mandakini river in June, 2013?

Chorabari lake
Hemkund lake
Kedar tal
Vasuki tal

The correct answer is (a) Chorabari lake.

Chobarabari lake is a glacial lake located in the Garhwal Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is situated at an elevation of 3,900 meters (12,800 feet) above sea level, and is a popular tourist destination. The lake is fed by the Chorabari Glacier, and its waters flow into the Mandakini River.

In June 2013, a flash flood caused by the sudden burst of Chorabari lake killed at least 5,700 people in the Kedarnath valley. The flood was caused by a combination of factors, including heavy rains, melting glaciers, and deforestation.

The other options are incorrect because they are not glacial lakes. Hemkund lake is a sacred lake located in the Garhwal Himalayas, and is a popular pilgrimage destination for Hindus. Kedar tal is a glacial lake located in the Garhwal Himalayas, and is a popular tourist destination. Vasuki tal is a glacial lake located in the Garhwal Himalayas, and is a popular tourist destination.
