Correct answer: A) Convergent boundary

Explanation:

The Himalayas were formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which is a convergent plate boundary. In this type of boundary, two tectonic plates move toward each other, causing the crust to buckle and form mountain ranges.

In this case, neither plate subducts significantly due to the continental nature of both plates, so instead, the crust is pushed upward, forming the Himalayas.

  • Divergent boundary (B) — plates move apart (e.g., mid-ocean ridges)
  • Transform boundary (C) — plates slide past each other (e.g., San Andreas Fault)
  • Subduction zone (D) — a type of convergent boundary, but specifically involves oceanic plate diving beneath a continental/oceanic plate (not the case here)

So, option A is the most accurate choice.
