Answer:

  • A point

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of a lake represents a plane because it extends in all directions at the same level. Imagine it as a quite surface, without imperfections, smooth and perfectly plane, it is a two-dimensional figure.

A fishing line that enters into the water, crossing the lake's surface, representes a line, which may be either perpendicular or leaned.

Thus the intersection of those two figures is a point.

A surface and a line that is not included in the plane and is not parallel to it will meet at a single point, which is what is represented by the situation stated.
