Solution

The correct option is A The Himalayas
The Himalayas are known as the young fold mountains because they have been formed only a few million years ago. They were formed because of the folding of the earth's crust due to tectonic activity (fold mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide with one another) when the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate.
