Solution

The correct option is A fold mountain
Fold mountains are formed due to the folding of crustal rocks by compressive forces generated by the movements inside the earth. Thus fold mountains can be said to be caused by the influence of internal forces. These are the highest and most extensive mountains of the world and are found in all the continents.
