<u>The Galapagos Islands</u> are an archipelago formed by 19 islands, geographically located near the coasts of Ecuador. They were formed by tectonic movements that gave rise to deposits of molten rock, on which a solid surface was formed. These deposits made up mountain ranges of volcanic material.
It should be noted that <u>not all the islands were formed at the same time</u>, it is estimated that the youngest ones (to the west) were formed 5 million years ago, while the oldest ones (the eastern ones) were formed around 300 million years ago.
Therefore, the answer that comes closest to this estimate is b.
