The mineral formed through evaporation.

The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds.

A lake water is a small water body, that receives water from surface runoff or water from sources like river, ocean, rivers and others. As, it obtains water from other distinct sources, it is a rich source of minerals. Minerals are inorganic substances found inside the earth crust. These minerals not only found inside the water of the lake but can also be found at the edges. This is because of the following reasons:

The mineral formed through evaporation: The water soluble minerals gets deposited at the edges as the water evaporates.

The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds: The dissolved elements and compounds gets crystallized as minerals at the edges when the water is lost in the process of evaporation.

B) The mineral formed through evaporation.

E) The mineral crystallized from dissolved elements and compounds.
