Answer 1

Hint: Europe is home to a portion of the World's most excellent mountain ranges. The Pyrenees, Carpathian Mountains and Alps, all stretch along Europe's landscape. The Alps are probably Europe's most prominent mountain range. This mountain range spreads through eight countries.

Complete answer:
The highest peak in Europe is Mount Elbrus mountain in Europe. It rises 5,642 m (18,510 ft) above sea level.
It is also the most elevated stratovolcano in Eurasia and the 10th highest peak in the world.
It was formed more than 2.5 million years ago.

Additional information:
The volcano is currently considered dormant. In the Holocene, Elbrus was active.
The last eruption took place about AD 50 according to the Global Volcanism Program
The mountain remains in Southern Russia, in the Western Caucasus, in the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria.
It is located right on the border with Georgia.
The locals are very customary and moderate in nature, they get by from the mountain and they enjoy food, wine and dancing.
It lies 20 km north of the main range of the Greater Caucasus and 65 km southwest of Kislovodsk, Russia.
22 glaciers, which in turn give rise to the Malka, Baksan and Kuban Rivers is fed by its permanent icecap

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note:
Elbrus lies in a moving tectonic area. It has been linked to a fault. A supply of magma lies deep beneath the dormant volcano. Actually, Mount Elbrus may not be technically called a mountain. It is an inactive volcano which is just at a few kilometres distance to the main Caucasus range.
