Solution
The correct option is A movable plate According to the theory of plate tectonics, the world has been divided into six major plates and several smaller movable plates. Each of the plates is composed of crust up to a depth of 100 km from the surface of the earth. Due to the forces at the earth's interior, these plates move.
