Answer:
ITS A BIG QUESTION SO MARK AS BRAINIST TO HELP
A)A glacial lake is a body of water with origins from glacier activity. They are formed when a glacier erodes the land, and then melts, filling the depression created by the glacier
B]a curved lake formed from a horseshoe bend in a river where the main stream has cut across the narrow end and no longer flows around the loop of the bend. is called ox bow lake
C]a stretch of salt water separated from the sea by a low sandbank or coral reef.
are called lagoons they are mainly found near the sea shores
d]Man-made Lakes (Reservoirs) In contrast to natural processes of lake formation,reservoirs are man-made water-bodies, usually formed by constructing a dam across a flowing river. Upon completion of the dam, the river pools behind the dam and fills the artificially created basin.in short it's a dam lol.
HOPE YOU GOT THEM ALL IN HEAD

Glacial lakes:
A lake that is created by a glacier is referred to as a glacial lake. It is created by the large ice sheets eroding the land and then filling the spaces when the glacier melts. The ice sheets are on the Earth's crust, which is “floating” on the Earth's mantle, the molten layer beneath the Earth's crust.
_______________________________
Ox bow lakes:
Oxbow lake, small lake located in an abandoned meander loop of a river channel. It is generally formed as a river cuts through a meander neck to shorten its course, causes the old channel to be rapidly blocked off, and then migrates away from the lake.
________________________________
Lagoons:
A lagoon is a shallow body of water that may have an opening to a larger body of water, but is also protected from it by a sandbar or coral reef.

Man-Made reservoir:
A reservoir (from French réservoir – a "tank") is, most commonly, an enlarged natural or artificial lake, pond or impoundment created using a dam or lock to store water. ... Defined as a storage space for fluids, reservoirs may hold water or gasses, including hydrocarbons.
