Ancestral Rocky Mountains orogeny

Target entity: Ancestral Rocky Mountains orogeny
Context triple: [Wichita Mountains, orogeny, Ancestral Rocky Mountains orogeny]

• A. Cordilleran orogeny
  The Cordilleran orogeny was a long-lasting mountain-building event along western North America that created much of the modern Cordillera, including ranges such as the Rockies and the Peninsular Ranges.
• B. Sevier orogeny
  The Sevier orogeny was a major Mesozoic mountain-building event in western North America that produced extensive thrust faulting and deformation along the continental margin.
• C. Laramide orogeny
  The Laramide orogeny was a major mountain-building event that occurred in western North America from the Late Cretaceous to early Paleogene, responsible for uplifting ranges such as the Rocky Mountains and parts of Alaska.
• D. Pinwarian orogeny
  The Pinwarian orogeny was a Precambrian mountain-building event recorded in the Canadian Shield that predates and helped set the tectonic framework for the later Grenville orogeny.
• E. Cascadian orogeny
  The Cascadian orogeny is the long-lasting mountain-building episode responsible for forming the Cascade Range through subduction-related tectonic activity along western North America.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
