Explanation:

To determine the natural boundary between East Asia and South Asia, we analyze each option:

• The Korean Peninsula is in East Asia, not a boundary between the two regions.
• The Himalayan Mountains lie between East Asia (e.g., China) and South Asia (e.g., India), acting as a natural geographic boundary.
• Mt. Fuji is in Japan (East Asia) and not a boundary between the two regions.
• The Gobi Desert is in northern East Asia and does not separate East and South Asia.

Answer:

B. Himalayan Mountains
