To determine which body of water is closest to the Mediterranean Sea, let's analyze the options given:
1. **Lake Victoria** - Located in East Africa, far from the Mediterranean Sea.
2. **Niger River** - Flows through West Africa, with its mouth in the Gulf of Guinea, which is also far from the Mediterranean.
3. **Nile River** - Flows north through northeastern Africa and empties into the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt.
4. **Lake Chad** - Located near the border of Chad, Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon, but far from the Mediterranean.
Given this analysis, the **Nile River** is the closest body of water to the Mediterranean Sea since it flows directly into it.
