Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.

What type of fault does not form mountains?

A transform fault does not typically form mountains. Transform faults are characterized by horizontal motion and sliding past each other, so they do not promote vertical displacement that creates mountains like convergent or divergent boundaries do.

What combination of boundary type and crust types creates enormous mountains?

Convergent boundaries with either oceanic-continental or continental-continental crust types can create enormous mountains. The collision of tectonic plates at these boundaries forces the crust to fold, fault, and uplift, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
