Michigan, Ontario, Erie, Huron

B.

Ontario, Huron, Erie, Michigan

C.

Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan

D.

Erie, Ontario, Huron, Michigan

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan

Explanation:

  • The Great Lakes of North America are a series of interconnected freshwater lakes.
  • Moving from the East (Atlantic coast/St. Lawrence River) to the West (Interior), the order is: Ontario → Erie → Huron → Michigan → Superior.
  • Lake Ontario is the closest to the Atlantic Ocean and the lowest in elevation.
  • Lake Superior (not listed in the sequence but part of the group) is the furthest inland and highest.
  • Lake Michigan is the only one located entirely within the United States.

Information Booster:
  • A popular mnemonic for the names is HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
  • They form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth by total area.

Additional Knowledge:
Option A, B, and D
  • These provide incorrect geographical sequences of the lakes relative to their distance from the eastern coast.
