Which of the following scenarios could result in the development of a compressional mountain belt?
a. The convergence of two continental plates, resulting in the collision and uplift of the crust.
b. The subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental plate, leading to crustal deformation and mountain building.
c. The collision of an oceanic plate with a continental plate, causing the oceanic plate to be forced beneath the continental plate and creating a mountain range.
d. The uplift of a previously flat area due to the intrusion of magma and subsequent volcanic activity.
