Solution
The correct option is C Tibetan plateau
C. Tibetian Plateau
The largest and highest plateau
in the world is the Tibetan Plateau,
sometimes metaphorically described as the "roof of the world", which
is still being formed by the collisions of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The
Tibetan plateau covers approximately 2,500,000 km2 (970,000 sq mi), at about
5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea level. The plateau is sufficiently high enough to
reverse the Hadley cell convection cycles and to drive the monsoons of India
towards the south.
