Probably the one with the most water....
Do you mean the biggest thats called a lake and is fresh water not saltwater that would be Lake Bailkal in Russia or the biggest that is completely surrounded by land but called a sea and has saltwater that would be the Caspian Sea but if you want the largest simply by the total amount of fresh water in one place that is not separated by land or anything else (ie not lots of little lakes) then that would be Antartica

The Caspian Sea is the largest by both area and volume. Although it is about 1/3 as salty as the Ocean so it is still considered a sea, not a lake by some.
Lake Baikal in Russia is the deepest lake in the world and is the largest FRESH WATER lake in the world (by volume).
So really, both answers are right.

Assuming you mean inland lakes and not inland seas like the Caspian, the largest lake is Lake Superior (31,700 sq. mi).

Lake Baikal is the deepest and oldest lake in the world. It is also the largest (by volume) freshwater lake on Earth. It contains over 20% of the world's liquid fresh surface water and more than 90% of Russia's liquid fresh surface water. A World Heritage Site, it lies in Southern Siberia in Russia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and Buryatia to the southeast, near the city of Irkutsk. The name derives from Tatar "Bai-Kul" - "rich lake". It is also known as the Blue Eye of Siberia.
