Correct Option: B
The Himalayas are examples of fold mountains that are created where two or more of Earth’s tectonic plates are pushed together. The Himalayan mountain ranges were formed as result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The Arakan Yoma highlands in Myanmar and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal were also formed as a result of this collision.
