Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A place-identification question should be solved by matching the full set of clues—location, name origin, and tourism profile—to one feature.
An official place description is especially decisive when it explains a site's name and physical setting.
Application
The site must be a lake in Tripura and a recognized tourism destination.
The decisive clue is the name: official Tripura Tourism material says that the lake resembles Lord Shiva's small damru and derives its name from it.
The same profile describes a 41 sq. km water body with 48 islets at the confluence of the Raima and Saima rivers.
Contrast
Rudrasagar Lake is chiefly identified with Neermahal at Melaghar.
Bharat Chhara does not carry the documented Lord Shiva drum etymology in the cited tourism profile.
Kamalasagar is a historic artificial lake beside the Kasba Kali Temple.
Dumboor alone matches the cited etymology and setting.
Cross-check
The Government of Tripura's Dhalai district page repeats the same damru-shaped drum etymology and identifies Dumboor as the tourism site.
Therefore, the answer is Dumboor Lake.
