    This question is quite confusing actually. But as per options given, Swamps are wetlands in short a low lying forest close to river or streams. They are rich in vegetation and consist of various trees and shrubs. Marshes are also just like the swamps as water covers the land for a long duration of time and they have herbs dominating. Clearly the swamps and marshes are both land having permanent water in their vicinity. Lagoons (in short one can say lake or pond), is mainly divided or Partitioned from the main channel by the reefs or barrier islands. While Oasis are low lying land in the arid environment (desert areas)and forms where the wind cuts out deep channels in low-lying areas of the desert and uncovers underground water. So in all oasis is a place where water comes up to the surface from deep underground.
