Detailed explanation-1: -The core is not a driving force of tectonic plates, so the correct answer is C. Explanation: Ridge push and slab push (or in other books, slab pull ) are the terms used to refer to the movements being made by the plates when they subduct.
Detailed explanation-2: -An increase in order is not a driving force because it is against the natural tendency of the universe to become more disordered in time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ridge push (also known as gravitational sliding) or sliding plate force is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot, raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gravitational force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone. It works together with Slab Pull, but is much less significant. See also Slab Pull.
Detailed explanation-5: -Viscous Drag. Slab-Pull Force. Ridge-Push Force. 02-Dec-2021
