D Correct answer
Explanation

The Himalayas are the youngest folded mountain range in India, formed during the Tertiary period (approximately 50 million years ago) due to the collision of Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Aravali Hills are one of the oldest mountain ranges. Eastern and Western Ghats are not primarily folded mountains but rather faulted and uplifted structures.
