Continent-Continent Boundary
B
Continent-Ocean Boundary
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Convergent boundaries, where two plates are moving toward each other, are of three types, depending on the type of crust present on either side of the boundary-oceanic or continental . The types are ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of non-convergent boundaries include “Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Great Rift Valley”. Iceland is an example of country undergoing continental non-convergent boundaries. Convergent boundaries are the boundaries between “two or more tectonic plates” which are coming towards each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mountains are usually formed at what are called convergent plate boundaries, meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another. This type of boundary eventually results in a collision.

Detailed explanation-4: -Three types of convergent boundaries are recognized: continent‐continent, ocean‐continent, and ocean‐ocean.
