A
Earthquake
B
Volcanic Mountain Range
C
Deep Ocean Trench
D
Fold Mountains
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At a convergent boundary with two plates of continental lithosphere, no subduction occurs, and a large mountain range forms with associated earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The geologic events that occur at convergent boundaries include volcanic activity, earthquakes, mountain formation, and subduction. Volcanic activity usually accompanied subduction when one plate is forced down and below the other plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -When oceanic-oceanic convergence take place, big events like volcanic activities, earthquakes, trenches and valleys forms. Some examples of oceanic convergence are the Aleutian islands, the Mariana’s islands.

Detailed explanation-4: -When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary.
