What is the most correct difference in basic formation of the Himalayas and Deccan Plateau?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himalayas are linked with compression and Deccan with lava flows

The governing concept is contrasting geological origin. The Himalayas are young fold mountains produced mainly by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates. Compression folded and uplifted former sediments along the plate boundary. The Deccan Plateau, in contrast, is a broad ancient volcanic tableland whose basaltic layers were formed largely by extensive lava flows, especially during the Deccan volcanic episode. Thus option A correctly contrasts compression-related mountain building with lava-related plateau formation. Option B reverses the evidence and assigns unrelated coral and glacial origins. Option C confuses major landform categories, while option D incorrectly identifies the Himalayas and Deccan with unrelated ranges.
