Which of the Great Lakes lies entirely within the United States?

B Lake St. Clair
C Lake Ontario
D Lake Superior
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes that lies entirely within the United States. The other Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario) either border Canada or are shared between the United States and Canada. Lake St. Clair is not considered one of the Great Lakes, but rather a connecting waterway between Lake Huron and Lake Erie.
