Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Only two

Solution :

The correct option is Only two.

Let us analyze each row step-by-step to determine which matches are correct:
1. Row 1 (Central Asia - Vosges - Fold mountain): This match is incorrect. The Vosges mountain range is located in Europe (specifically in France), not in Central Asia. Furthermore, the Vosges is a block mountain (fault-block mountain), not a fold mountain.
2. Row 2 (Europe - Alps - Block mountain): This match is incorrect. While the Alps are located in Europe, they are young fold mountains formed by the collision of tectonic plates, not block mountains.
3. Row 3 (North America - Appalachians - Fold mountain): This match is correct. The Appalachian Mountains are located in North America and are old fold mountains.
4. Row 4 (South America - Andes - Fold mountain): This match is correct. The Andes range is located in South America and is a classic example of a young fold mountain range.

Therefore, only two rows (Row 3 and Row 4) contain correctly matched information.
