To determine the difference in feet between the deepest lake and the most shallow lake, we need to identify the depths of each lake from the table provided and then find the difference between the deepest and shallowest depths.

Here are the depths of the lakes listed in the table:

- Lake Chelan: 1419 feet
- Lake Tahoe: 1685 feet
- Pend Orelle: 1150 feet
- Lake Superior: 1333 feet
- Crater Lake: 1943 feet

First, we identify the deepest lake:
- The deepest lake is Crater Lake with a depth of 1943 feet.

Next, we identify the shallowest lake:
- The shallowest lake is Pend Orelle with a depth of 1150 feet.

Now, we calculate the difference in depth between the deepest lake and the shallowest lake:
[tex]\[ 1943 \text{ ft} - 1150 \text{ ft} = 793 \text{ ft} \][/tex]

Thus, the difference in feet between the deepest lake and the most shallow lake is 793 feet.

The correct answer is:
A) 793 ft
