Answer 1

Hint: Plateaus are the areas of raised land that is flat on top. The Qing -Zang plateau is the highest plateau in the world.

Complete answer:
The highest of all the plateaus in the world is the Tibetan plateau.
A plateau or a high plain is a flat, elevated landform that ascends sharply above the surrounding region on at least one side. They occur on every continent and take up one-third of the Earth's land. They are one of the four prime landforms, along with the mountains, plains, and hills.
The largest and highest plateau in the world is the Tibetan plateau which lies in Central Asia. It is also known as the ‘Roof of the World’ and sometimes called the Qinghai- Tibet plateau.
The plateau is surrounded by huge mountains, shares its border with the inner Himalayan range, to the north by the Kunlun Mountains which separate it from the Tarim Basin and to the northeast by the Qilan mountains which separate the plateau from the Hexi Corridor and Gobi desert. It covers an area of 2.5 million square kilometers, at about 5000 meter (16000 ft) above sea level.

The correct answer is option C.

Note: Tibetan plateau is still being formed by the collisions of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The plateau is adequately high to strive the monsoons of India towards the south. Different varieties of flora and fauna are found in this area. It has also many large brackish lakes.
