Answer:

A. Convergent boundary could form a mountain chain of sedimentary rock

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of plate boundary that could form a mountain chain of sedimentary rock is a convergent boundary.

  • Such convergence often takes place between two continental crusts that collides with one another.
  • By so doing, shortening occurs and their is an uplift.
  • The sedimentary beds are raised up to towering peaks in this kind of convergence.
  • For oceanic - continental crust convergence, subduction will not allow for the mountain chain to form.
  • Also, this is the same case with oceanic - oceanic crust convergence.
