B. the Caucasus Mountains

Explanation:

The highest peak in Europe is considered to be Mount Elbrus, which is part of the Caucasus Mountains. This peak rises 5,642 meters above sea level. It is located in the southern part of European Russia. Because Mount Elbrus is the highest peak in one continent, it makes it one of the seven summits, or rather one of the seven highest peaks from each of the seven continents. It has long been debated should Mount Elbrus be considered to be in Europe or Asia, because the border because the two has been set by some along the Caucasus Mountains, while by some at the valleys north of the Caucasus. Nowadays it is generally accepted that Mount Elbrus is in the territory of Europe and it is its highest point.
