A Correct answer
Explanation

The Himalayas are geologically young fold mountains formed approximately 50 million years ago by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. They continue to rise today due to ongoing tectonic activity, making them the archetypal example of young folded mountains in geography. The Nilgiris are much older, while Yaahk and Zilhari are not standard mountain names in this context.
