Two statements that explain how lakes form are;

B. Streams flow into shallow areas

When a river flows into a quiet or shallow large body of water, an ocean, or an inland sea, it creates a lake.

And,

E. Movement of Earth's crust creates low areas that fill with water

These are lakes that have been formed by the deformation and resulting lateral and vertical movements of the Earth’s crust.
