D) Vinson Massif 4) Block mountains

Which of these is correct ?

4 2 1 3

The Great African Rift Valley (valley floor is graben), The Rhine Valley (graben) and the Vosges mountain (horst) in Europe are examples. Block mountains are also called fault-block mountains since they are formed due to faulting as a result of tensile and compressive forces.
The Aravalli Range, an eroded stub of ancient mountains, is the oldest range of fold mountains in India.
The Columbia Plateau flood basalts are a notable example of a “Large Igneous Province,” where vast volumes of basalt are erupted over a relatively short period of time. Such a high volume of basaltic lava is erupted that the lava flows flood the land's surface.
Mount Vinson is the highest peak in Antarctica, with an elevation of 16,066 feet (4,897 meters). With an elevation of 16,066 feet (4,897 meters), Mount Vinson is the highest mountain in Antarctica.

Hence option 1st is correct.
