Answer:

The Philippine plate moves toward the Eurasian plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not correct because the Australian plate is located south of the Philippine plate, and with its movment being in a north-western manner it is nowhere near in a direction toward this plate.

B is not correct because the Arabian plate is located west of the Philippine plate which is not its direction of movement, and on top of it, they do not share a boundary.

C is not correct because the Antarctic plate is a plate located very far away from the Philippine plate, and the direction of movement is not toward one another.

D is correct because, with its north-western movement, the Philippine plate is moving toward the Eurasian plate, forming a subduction zone, where it gradually subducts below the much larger plate it moves towards.
