Explanation

Lagoon is correctly identified as a noun because it names a place - a shallow body of water near a coast (e.g., 'blue lagoon'). Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas. Lagoon cannot be an action (verb), descriptive word (adjective), manner word (adverb), or relationship word (preposition). This is geographical vocabulary.
