Answer: Option (D)

Explanation:

When continental plates collides with one another, it forms a sandwich pattern, in which the rocks undergoes compression. As a result of which, the landmass rises, forming huge mountain ranges. This mountains so formed are bigger in size as well as in area. This materials get accumulated due to the plate tectonic movement. For example, the Himalaya.

According to the process of accretion, the continental landmass also increases in area and size due to the addition of materials by the weathering and erosion of the nearby rocks by the agents such as wind, ice and water.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
