Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, is located in:

Explanation

Lake Titicaca is located on the Peru-Bolivia border in the Andes Altiplano, the high plateau of the Andes. It stands 3,812 m above sea level and is described as the world's highest navigable lake; UNESCO places it at about 3,810 m and calls it the highest navigable lake in the world. This makes option C the only location that matches both the physical setting and the border position. The lake is not just a map fact: its waters are linked with Andean civilisations, including the Inca and Tiwanaku, and the Uros people's floating totora-reed islands are part of its distinctive human geography.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) The Tanzania-Kenya border points to East Africa and is associated here with Lake Victoria, not Lake Titicaca in the Andes Altiplano.
• (B) The Switzerland-Italy border is an Alpine setting linked here with lakes such as Como or Maggiore, whereas Titicaca is between Peru and Bolivia.
• (D) The USA-Canada border suggests the Great Lakes region, not the high Andean lake identified by UNESCO between Peru and Bolivia.

Concept

This tests world physical geography through a classic lake-location pairing: highest navigable lake plus Andes Altiplano. Such questions recur in RAS because border lakes, plateaus and landmark water bodies are compact facts that connect relief, location and human geography.
