____________________________________________________________

Correct answer choice is:

D. Ridge push and slab pull

Explanation:

Ridge Push: The process that occurs when magma arises at a mid-ocean ridge and drives oceanic plates in two separate ways apart from the ridge.

Slab pull: The process that occurs if a thick oceanic plate settles underneath a more resilient plate with a subduction zone, drawing the excess of the plate that pursues following it.

Answer 2

It's ridge push and slab pull.
