Answer 1

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plates here refers to the lithospheric plates, which can be defined as the small or large broken fragments of the earth's crust. These plates constantly moves from one place to another due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. The plates comprises both the oceanic as well as continental crust, which shares three types of distinct plate boundaries such as the convergent, transform and divergent plate boundary.
