Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

The Himalayan mountain building (or orogeny) began about 45 million years ago.

  • It started when the Indian continental plate collided with the Eurasian plate, causing the uplift that formed the Himalayas.

So, both statements (a) and (b) are correct. Hence, option (C) is the right answer.
