A
Correct answer
Explanation
Chilka Lake in Odisha faced significant environmental degradation due to intensive prawn farming and aquaculture activities, which threatened the lake's ecosystem and biodiversity. This led to conservation efforts and Supreme Court intervention to protect the lake. Dal Lake, Pulicat Lake, and Sambhar Lake face different environmental issues but not prawn farming specifically.
