Solution
The correct option is D Gondwana continent
Geologically, the Indian subcontinent was
originally part of a huge mass called Gondwana continent. Later is due to the
tectonic movements and with a gradual change in the shape and size of the
landmasses. It further drifted away from East Africa about 160 million years
ago, around the Middle Jurassic period.
So the above information shows that young
folded mountains are most prone to earthquakes. Thus correct options are D.
Other options are not suitable.
