Which Asian countries does the Himalayan mountain range run through?

  1. Only China and India

  2. Only Nepal and Bangladesh

  3. China, Nepal, and India

  4. China, India, and Bangladesh

The correct answer is: China, Nepal, and India

The Himalayan mountain range runs through China, Nepal, and India, making the selected answer accurate. This extensive mountain system stretches across five countries in total—Bhutan and Pakistan are also part of the range, but the question specifically asks which of these three countries are included. The Himalayas are significant for numerous reasons, including their geological features, which were formed by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian plate. This collision gave rise to the highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest, located in Nepal. In this context, while China and India both have large segments of the range, Nepal is home to some of the most famous peaks and is crucial to the Himalayas' geography. The other options are not correct either because they exclude important countries or include regions that do not contain parts of the Himalayas. Specifically, Bangladesh, while in proximity, does not feature the mountain range within its borders.
