Which statement is correct in comparing the origin of the Himalayas and Deccan Plateau?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himalayas are young fold mountains and Deccan is an ancient lava plateau

The correct answer is C because the Himalayas and the Deccan Plateau have different geological origins. The Himalayas are young fold mountains formed when the Indian Plate moved northward and collided with the Eurasian Plate, compressing and folding sedimentary layers. The Deccan Plateau is an ancient, stable part of the Peninsular Plateau; much of its surface consists of basaltic lava produced by extensive volcanic eruptions in the geological past. Thus one is a relatively young tectonic mountain system and the other is an old volcanic plateau. Options A and B confuse unrelated landforms, while option D incorrectly calls both coral islands. The contrast in origin makes C correct.
