b) they are the only mountains in asia.
c) they are among the tallest mountains in the world.
d) they are the oldest mountains in the world.

• Option A: Many mountain ranges are snow-covered year-round, so this is not unique to the Himalayas as a defining natural wonder.
• Option B: Asia has numerous mountain ranges (e.g., the Karakoram, Alps are in Europe but Asia has many others like the Tian Shan), so this is false.
• Option C: The Himalayas include Mount Everest, the world's tallest peak, and are home to most of the highest mountains on Earth, which makes them a prominent natural wonder.
• Option D: The Himalayas are geologically young mountains, formed by tectonic activity, so this is false.
