Answer:

Your answer would be:
D.) at divergent boundaries


Step-by-step explanation:

Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where a new ocean floor is created as the Earth's tectonic plates spread apart, is dividing (divergent), as the plates separate, molten rock (lava) rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt.
