D. A large plateau forms in the interior of a continental plate when a large section of the plate rises evenly due to an even expansion of an underlying mantle.

Explanation:

  • Epeirogenic process can be defined as the vertical movement of the continents that compresses to form the mountains or may stretch itself to form a rift. The eperiorgenic movements form the basins and arches and lift the entire region evenly.
  • D. is the example of the epeirogenic process because here the plate rises above the continent due to the expansion of the underlying mantle. The entire region appears elevated.
