The correct answer is C. Convergent Land - Land

Step-by-step explanation

The Himalayas is a mountain range located in Asia, specifically in the north of the Indian peninsula. The Himalayas originated by the collision between the Indian tectonic plate and the Eurasian tectonic plate. Its formation began around 70 million years ago. In this clashed Indian plate moves in a north direction, seducing itself under the Eurasian plate (convergent movement), in this way the elevation of the Himalayas occurs. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Convergent Land - Land.
