Which of the following African lakes is the source of the White Nile and ranks as the largest lake by surface area in Africa?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa by surface area, the premier tropical lake globally, and serves as the primary reservoir feeding the White Nile River. It spans across the borders of Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya in the African Great Lakes region. Other choices like Lake Tanganyika represent the deepest lake in the region rather than the largest by area.
