Consider the statements regarding different types of plate’s boundary interaction:
1. Destructive plate boundary is one in which continuous upwelling of molten material ie lava takes place.
2. Constructive plate boundary is one which two plates slide past one another thus neither creating nor destroying continental landmass.
3. Convergent plate boundary is one in which one plate overrides the other plate.
Choose the correct statement/s from the following code.

The correct option is C 3 only
Divergent plate boundary or constructive plate boundary: A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is
forming from magma that rises to the Earth's surface between the two plates. The middle of the Red Sea and the mid-ocean ridge (running the length of the Atlantic Ocean) are divergent plate boundaries.
Convergent plate boundary or destructive plate boundary: It is a tectonic boundary where two plates move towards 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.
The western coast of South America and the Himalayan Mountains are convergent plate boundaries. Also called active margin , collision zone.
Transform plate boundary: Transform plate boundary is one in which two plates slide past one another thus neither creating nor destroying continental landmass.
