Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sharing of a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates results in the formation of a sandwich pattern, where the rocks at the edges of both the plates are crushed and crumbled and folded. Here the magma beneath the plates cannot rise up to the surface due to its high thickness, so it does not lead to the formation of volcanoes. For example, the Himalaya.

There is the possibility of occurring frequent landslides at the higher elevated mountainous areas due to the steeper slope of the mountains. It can also lead to the occurrence of flood, as there is the presence of plateaus that are formed at the top of the mountains that has the ability to trap water within them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
