The highest mountain peak in Europe is _____ 

Complete Answer

1. Mont Blanc : Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe, standing at 4,808 meters (15,774 feet) above sea level. It’s the second-highest and second most prominent peak in Europe, after Mount Elbrus, and ranks as the eleventh most prominent mountain worldwide. Situated between Italy’s Aosta Valley and France’s Savoie and Haute-Savoie regions, Mont Blanc is part of the Mont Blanc massif within the Graian Alps range. Its summit lies on the watershed line between Italy’s Ferret and Veny valleys and France’s Montjoie and Arve valleys, marking the border between the two nations.
2. Andes: The Andes Mountains, also known simply as the Andes or Cordillera de Los Andes in Spanish, are a major mountain range in South America and one of the Earth’s natural wonders. Spanning about 5,500 miles (8,900 kilometers) from South America’s southern tip to the northern Caribbean coast, the Andes feature high plateaus and towering peaks. It’s home to the tallest mountains in the Western Hemisphere, including Mount Aconcagua, which reaches 22,831 feet (6,959 meters) on the Argentina-Chile border.
3. Monte Rosa: Monte Rosa is a snow-covered massif in the Pennine Alps, located along the border of Switzerland and Italy, southeast of Zermatt, Switzerland. It has ten peaks, each named individually, with four of them—Nordend, Zumsteinspitze, Signalkuppe (Punta Gnifetti), and Parrotspitze—marking the Swiss-Italian border. The highest peak, Dufourspitze (4,634 meters or 15,203 feet), is the tallest in Switzerland and the second-highest in the Alps. The name "Monte Rosa" originates from the local dialect word "roëse," meaning "glacier."
4. Mount Elbrus: Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, stands at 5,642 meters (18,510 feet) above sea level. This stratovolcano, which formed over 2.5 million years ago, is the tallest in Eurasia and the tenth highest in the world. Although currently dormant, its last eruption was around AD 50. Located near the border with Georgia, the surrounding region is known for its traditional lifestyle, with locals enjoying food, wine, and dance as part of their mountain-based way of life.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
