The correct answer is - A. Mountains in Iraq and Oman.

The pressure created from the Arabian Plate pushing towards the Eurasian Plate has lifted the terrain at some parts, most notably at the territory of Iraq and Oman. The most noticeable mountains in here are the Zagros Mountains in Iraq. These mountains are of great significance for the Kurdish population that considers them as sacred mountains. The pressure also affects the terrain in Iran where the Iranian Plateau is created.
