Explanation

Finland is widely recognized as the "Land of a Thousand Lakes" due to its approximately 188,000 lakes scattered throughout the country. These lakes cover nearly 10% of Finland's land area, contributing significantly to its scenic landscapes and outdoor recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and winter sports. While countries like Sweden and Estonia have lakes, they are not known by this nickname. Therefore, the correct answer is Finland (C).
