The correct answer is Option 2. 

Key Points

•  The Alps mountain range is classified as a young fold mountain range.
• The formation of the Alps began about 65 million years ago during the Paleogene period and continued into the Neogene period, which ended about 2.6 million years ago.
• The range was formed by the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, which caused the Earth's crust to buckle and fold, forming the Alps.
• The ongoing collision between these two plates is still causing the Alps to rise by about 1-2 millimeters per year.
