B Correct answer
Explanation

The Himalayan mountain range covers approximately 0.4% of Earth's total surface area, which is about two-tenths of one percent, not two-tenths (20%). The claim that they cover two-tenths of Earth's surface would mean 20%, which is vastly exaggerated - they cover a tiny fraction of the planet's surface despite being the tallest mountain range.
