Answer:

The answer is C, the creation of the Himalayas.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Mahabharata, the seagulls come to Vishnu for help as the oceans have taken their eggs. In doing so Vishnu exposes the land under the oceans. Vishnu needed to rest after this deed and went into a deep sleep, exposing Earth. The Mahabharata shows the struggle between good and evil. Hiranyaksha, an evil demon, took this opportunity to break pieces of the Earth. These pieces are the Himalaya mountains.
