A. Folding of the earth's crust

B. Accumulation of loess deposits

C. Folding of the geosyncline

D. Faulting of the earth's crust

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Folding of the geosyncline relates to the formation of the Himalayas. The geosynclinal sediments of Tethys sea were squeezed and folded into Alpine-Himalayan mountain chains due to lateral compressive forces caused by the convergence and collision of Eurasian and African-Indian continental plates during Cenozoic Era.
