Respuesta :

D.

Most mountains on Earth are formed at convergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

At the convergent boundary, the denser plate (usually an oceanic plate) gets subsided under the less dense plate (usually the continental plate). The stress in the boundary from the colliding tectonic plates causes fissures to develop along the boundary, in the overlying plate. As the denser plate ‘dives’ into the mantle, it melts and this magma rises, with pressure, along the fissures, and explodes violently on the surface forming volcanic arc geographical features.

An example f such a region is the Ring of Fire  that is home to mountain ranges like the Andes in South America,  Southern Alps of New Zealand, and the Cascade Range of North America.
