If a question gives clues of high peaks, young folding and northern location, which division is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himalayan Mountains

The direct answer is A, the Himalayan Mountains. High peaks, young fold structure and northern location are three strong identifying clues. The Himalayas formed relatively recently in geological terms through the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, which compressed and folded rock layers. Option A is correct because the Himalayas are India’s northern young fold mountain system and contain very high peaks. Option B, the Peninsular Plateau, is an ancient, more stable landmass with broad plateaus and old rocks, not the young folded northern range. Option C, Coastal Plains, are narrow lowlands beside the sea, so they do not fit high peaks or young folding. Option D, the Indian Desert, is a dry western region with sandy surfaces, not a high folded mountain system. Solve by matching all clues, not just one: north + high + young fold = Himalayas. Memory cue: young high folds in the north mean Himalaya.
