Which one of the following is NOT an example of Fold Mountain ?

Option A (Mt. Fuji) is the correct answer because it is a volcanic mountain (specifically a stratovolcano), whereas the other options are classic examples of fold mountains.

Fold mountains are created through a process called orogeny, where tectonic plates collide at convergent boundaries, causing the Earth's crust to compress and fold. Major examples include:

• Alps: A young fold mountain range in Europe.
• Andes: The world's longest fold mountain range, located in South America.
• Rockies: A major fold mountain system in North America.

In contrast, Mt. Fuji in Japan was formed by the accumulation of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials over thousands of years due to subduction zone activity. Therefore, it is classified as a volcanic landform rather than a fold mountain.
