Mount Blanc (Mont Blanc) is not a volcanic mountain; it is a fold mountain made of granite and crystalline rocks. It is the highest peak in the Alps and was formed by the collision of the African and Eurasian plates. Fuji and Kilimanjaro are classic examples of volcanic cones. ANSWER: (D) Mount Blanc

  1. Mount Fuji (Japan) and Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) are stratovolcanoes built by layers of lava and ash. Mount Blanc, however, is a product of Orogeny (mountain building) through crustal folding and uplift. While it sits near a plate boundary, its structure is formed by the compression of the Earth’s crust rather than the eruption of magma. Option (C) “On a hill” appears to be a distractor or typo in the original question; however, among the named peaks, Mount Blanc is the only one definitely identified as a non-volcanic, structural fold mountain.
