Answer (A) Compressive deformation between Indian and Eurasian plate Himalaya was formed as a result of Collison between asian and Eurasian plate. Strike slip wasn't associated with this collisional plate boundary. Also, volcanism is very scarce in Himalaya so it must not be a reason. Since convergent plate margin is almost always compressional so there should be no regional extension associated with the Himalayas.

The answer is A) Compressive deformation between Indian and Asian tectonic plates. The other options are not correct it was not in an extensional or strike slip setting and volcanic extrusion was not responsible for the upliftment of Himalayas. Refer to the image below.

As i have already told in my previous answer that himalayan mountains are the fold mountain typically formed by the Indian and eurasian plate convergence and hence correct option has to be (A) due to compressive deformation between the plates (indian and eurasian plate).
