Solution

The correct option is A convergent
When tectonic plates move they form certain types of boundaries, these are called plate boundaries. There are three types of plate boundaries:

Convergent Boundaries, Divergent Boundaries and Transform Boundaries.

When two plates come together, the boundary created is called a convergent boundary or a convergent margin. Sometimes, the denser of the two plates may go underneath the less dense plate.
