Answer 1

Hint:Pyrenees is a 490km long mountain range in Europe. These are older than Apls and separate the Iberian peninsula from the rest of Europe.

Complete Answer:The Pyrenees extend from the Mediterrenean sea to Bay of Biscay and are marked by flat top massifs and folded linear ranges.
Let us look at the options given to us

Option A- Denmark and Sweden have a maritime border and the Oresund strait separate the countries.

Option B- Germany and France have a border along which the river Rhine flows.

Option C- Germany and Poland are divided by the Oder-Neisse line along which Oder and Lusatian Neisse rivers flow.

Option D-France and Spain is the correct answer as the Pyrenees forms a natural border between these countries. Spanish Pyrenees cover the provinces of Girona, Barcelona, Lleida, Huesca, Navarra and Gipuzkoa. On the other hand, French Pyrenees cover the administrative divisions (called departments in France) of Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Ariège, Haute-Garonne, Hautes-Pyrénées, and Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
River Argon flows through these ranges. There is a Pyrenees National Park in France.

Therefore the correct answer is option (D).

Note:The Aneto Peak is the highest peak in the Pyrenees. The small principality of Andorra is located between the French Pyrenees and the Spanish Pyrenees.
