Explanation:

The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of the Indian - Eurasian tectonic plates. As the plates continue to collide, the mountains will keep growing in height. Erosion and weathering act to reduce the height, but the tectonic forces are dominant in this case.

Answer:

B. They will continue to grow because of plate collision.
