C
Correct answer
Explanation
The Aravalli Range is indeed India's oldest, having formed over 2.5 billion years ago during the Precambrian era. The Himalayas are geologically the youngest (still rising), while the Vindhyas and Nilgiris are also older than the Himalayas but not as ancient as the Aravallis.
