Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lima forms the largest city and capital of Peru. It lies in the tropical region and situated on Peru's Pacific coast on the dissected alluvial cones, which are formed by the fast-flowing rivers namely the Rimac, Chillon and Lurin. It is located in a tectonically very active area, where the denser Nazca plate and Pacific plate is subducting below the South American plate. A large number of earthquakes occurs along this boundary affecting the city of Lima. The San Andes mountain has formed along this convergent plate boundary.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
