Solution
The correct option is A constructive
The processes for
building new land and coastal plains are called constructive forces.
Three of the main constructive forces are crustal deformation,
volcanic eruptions, and deposition of sediment.
Crustal deformation
occurs when the shape of land (or crust) is changed or deformed. One
of the main causes is movement of the Earth's plates. When the plates
collide or push toward each other, pressure builds. This can cause
two things to happen. The rock can either fold or fault.
