Answer:

The correct option is : d. all of this question's answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plate tectonics is the theory, describing large scale movements of the 7 large plates, and many small plates, constituting the lithosphere, since the beginning of the tectonic processes, which started 3 to 3.5 billion years ago.

The Earth's lithosphere, a rigid outermost shell of the planet is broken into tectonic plates. A plate boundary represents the area where the two plates meet.

The formation of Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, position of the continents and oceanic trench occurs along the boundaries of the tectonic plates.

According to this theory, these changes cause changes in the climate.
