The correct answer is A. Fault-block.Fault-block mountains are formed due to the stretching and cracking of the Earth's crust, not by plate collision. They are created when large areas of bedrock are broken up by faults and then tilted or dropped down along the fault lines. This process is different from the formation of continent-continent, Aleutian, and Andean mountains, which are all formed due to plate collisions.
