Solution

The correct option is B fold mountain
The crust of the earth is made up of different strata of rocks. As a result of movements inside the earth, these rock strata at times are forced up and down and thus folds are created. In this way, the pressure inside the earth's crust leads to raising of the rock layer and thus eventually fold mountains are formed.
