The correct answer is - d. Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is located between the territories of Oman and the United Arab Emirates from one side, and Iran on the other side. It lies between the water bodies of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.

The strait itself is on the boundary between the Eurasian tectonic plate, and the Arabian tectonic plate. They form a convergent boundary. Since the Arabian plate is pushing against the Eurasian plate, there's constant stress deep into the ground, stress that causes lot of cracks to appear inside the crust. That results in very common earthquake occurrences.

Mount everest, at 29028 feet, is the tallest mountain on earth. what is its height in kilometers?
alexdok [17]

Mount Everest, at 29028 feet, is the tallest mountain on earth with 8.848 kilometers in height.

A specific someone by the name of Andre Waugh said that Mount Everest was 29,002 feet tall in 1856. Trigonometric surveys and analysis served as the basis for this. The overall height, which was acknowledged in both China and Nepal, was 8,848 metres. For a long time, this was the accepted record. Things didn't start to change until the 9th of October 2005, when an official declaration was issued stating that Mount Everest was, in fact, 29,017.16 feet high. This totaled 8,844.43 meters.

Geologic uplift causes Everest to rise by 4 mm, or 0.1576 inches, per year.  It is believed that the neighboring plate tectonics is causing the height to increase and the peak to move northeast.
