D Correct answer

Lakshadweep islands are coral atolls formed by reef formation over submerged volcanic features. Coral polyps build calcium carbonate structures around volcanic islands, which eventually erode away, leaving ring-shaped reefs and lagoons. This process creates the characteristic atoll formations seen in Lakshadweep.
