Answer:

divergent boundary.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge is an example of a divergent boundary because in this region two plates move away from one another being the space produced by that distance filled by a new material of the crust, of magmatic origin. In this way, the divergent boundary is constructive, since it allows the expansion of the ocean floor and consequent formation of a new lithosphere.
