Where two tectonic plates meet.
A
Plate Boundary
B
Mantle
C
Crust
D
Core
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary . The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.

Detailed explanation-2: -When two tectonic plates meet, we get a “plate boundary.” There are three major types of plate boundaries, each associated with the formation of a variety of geologic features. If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary.

Detailed explanation-3: -On average, tectonic plates move a few centimeters per year. The place where two plates meet is called a plate boundary. There are three main types of plate boundaries. Divergent boundaries occur where two plates are moving away from each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Divergent (Spreading):This is where two plates move away from each other. Molten rock from the mantle erupts along the opening, forming new crust. The earthquakes that occur along these zones, called spreading centers, are relatively small.
