This is actually more specific to which region you are from in the US. In Texas, I’m pretty sure they call it a “washbasin” and they also call a fridge an “icebox”.

Sink vs. Basin (wash/hand)

To me, a sink is a fixed basin with a drain. A basin is not attached to anything.
And welcome to the forum, Kdovi.

Hello Kdovi, and welcome to WordReference
Long ago, a sink was in the kitchen.
A basin, or wash-hand-basin, was in the bathroom.
There were occasional houses that also had basins in the bedrooms.
Over the last 25 years or so, I have increasingly heard basins referred to as sinks, even by my own children (such betrayal).

In my experience, this (a link to the web page in the original post) is called a sink in AmE.
It might also be called a wash basin, but I believe that term is used more often by the people who sell these than by those who use them.

The object in the link is a basin, for me.
I still make the distinction that panj says was made «long ago»

However, I do know the difference between a buffalo and a bison. you can’t wash your hands in a buffalo.

I would say there was. To my mind, this is a bathroom sink:

‘Sink’ still has a (now very faint) association with a deep trough or sewer, and Chambers dictionary defines it as ‘a receptacle or drain for filthy water, a cesspool, a kitchen or scullery trough or basin’. The theory is that a kitchen sink isn’t just there for washing, it’s for some dirty jobs too, eg peeling potatoes, whereas a domestic basin is only used for personal washing. I think people do still have a faint awareness of the difference, in that you never hear the words ‘kitchen basin’, but always ‘kitchen sink’.
That said, I think only a pedant would insist on that distinction these days, and to mark you down for it is very petty. I hear ‘sink’ used for the bathroom version all the time, even if I don’t do it myself.

You may like to point your teacher towards this website, selling «bathroom sinks»
You might want to talk to your teacher again about this if it was an important exam.
