Let us know what you decide.
Most of Africa's major lakes are located in or near the Great Rift Valley. To arrive at this answer, you can start by eliminating options A and B (the Namib and the Kalahari) as these are deserts and not regions where major lakes are typically found.
To further narrow down the answer, you can consider option C, the Nile River. Although the Nile River is the longest river in Africa, it does not pass through the Great Rift Valley nor does it have major lakes along its course. Therefore, option C can also be eliminated.
This leaves us with option D, the Great Rift Valley, which is the correct answer. The Great Rift Valley is a geological trench system that runs through East Africa, from the Red Sea in the north to Mozambique in the south. It is home to several major lakes, including Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, Lake Turkana, and Lake Albert. These lakes are important water resources and support a diverse range of ecosystems and human populations.
