Plate boundaries
B
Mountain ranges
C
Lithosphere
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary . Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. Deep trenches are features often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common at subduction zones as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.
