Chromite deposits of Himalaya are associated with :
Answer: A
The Himalayan chromite deposits are associated with ophiolite complexes.
Ophiolites are slices of oceanic lithosphere thrust onto continental crust during plate collision. Their mantle section contains podiform chromite bodies in dunite and harzburgite. In the Himalaya such ophiolites lie along the Indus-Tsangpo suture (for example in Ladakh) and in the Nagaland-Manipur belt, and these are the settings of the chromite.
Stratiform complexes such as the Bushveld host layered chromitite seams in stable cratons, Duke Island-type complexes are zoned ultramafic intrusions of Alaska, and intrusive granites are not hosts for chromite at all.
