Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Static general-awareness questions test recall of a notable "first" tied to a specific place. The reliable method is to fix on the unique distinguishing feature in the stem and match it to the documented location associated with that fact, rather than guessing from general fame.
Application
The defining clue is the "floating" school. India's first floating elementary school is the Loktak Elementary Floating School, set up at the Champu Khangpok floating village on Loktak Lake in Manipur. It was started in 2017 to serve children of the lake's fishing community, which makes Loktak Lake, Manipur the documented inaugurated site.
Cross-check
The other lakes named are well-known tourist lakes celebrated for palaces, hill-station boating, or houseboats, but the documented inauguration record for India's first floating elementary school points to Loktak Lake, so the answer is Loktak Lake, Manipur.
