- Generally, a steep hill with an elevation of more than 600 metres is classified as a mountain.

- Option 1: 600 metres is the correct answer. Many geographers accept 600 m as the minimum height to be called a mountain.

- Option 2: 500 metres is a bit low, and most features of this height are considered hills, not mountains.

- Option 3: 1000 metres is quite high and some regions do use this as a benchmark—but globally, 600m is more widely accepted.

- Option 4: 800 metres is not a common classification for mountains.
