Answer:

This one seems tricky, but the answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer choice is wrong because it only applies to volcanic mountains.

C. would be true for folded mountains and volcanic mountains, but not fault-block mountains. Fault-block mountains have steep slopes and jagged surfaces; hence why B is correct.

D. is wrong because it applies to all three types of mountains mentioned.

Really, volcanic mountains can have gentle slopes and steep slopes, as well as jagged appearances and dome-shaped appearances. All that has to be assessed is the characteristics of fault-block mountains. This would be described in answer choice B.
