The Himalayan Mountain Range, including Mount Everest, was formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. What type of plate boundary is primarily responsible for the creation of such large mountain ranges?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Convergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move toward each other. When two continental plates collide, neither typically subducts, leading to immense crustal uplift and the formation of large mountain ranges.
