A rock climbing group reached the top of Mount Everest in the Himalayan mountains. Mount Everest is about 29,000 feet above sea level and formed by the interaction of two tectonic plates. The group leader was surprised to find fossilized marine organisms on top of the mountain. Which of the following describes the geologic history of Mount Everest? answer choices:
A: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused the denser plate containing fossilized marine organisms to rise above the surface and form the Himalayan mountains.

B: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused one plate to subduct into the ocean and the other one to rise causing marine organisms to fossilize on top of Mount Everest.

C: Two tectonic plates had the same density which caused one plate to subduct into a transform boundary that fossilized marine organisms before the Himalayan mountains were formed and uplifted.

D: Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.
