Solution

The correct option is A Convergent boundary
Plate Tectonics Theory :-
Convergent plate boundary.
A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other. If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone.
