A
Lake Huron
B
Lake Superior
C
Lake Michigan
D
Lake Erie
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Lake Superior. Lake Superior experiences the least amount of water level fluctuation between seasonal high and low water marks compared to the other Great Lakes. This is due to its large surface area and volume, as well as its location in the northern region, which results in more stable weather patterns and less dramatic seasonal changes. The other Great Lakes, being smaller and located further south, tend to have more pronounced seasonal water level variations driven by factors like precipitation, evaporation, and runoff.
