The correct answer is - a. convergent boundary.

The formation of the longest and highest mountain range in South America can be attributed to the collision of the Nazca tectonic plate and the South American tectonic plate. This two tectonic plates form a convergent boundary. That basically means that they are pushing against each other, and because of the incredible force and pressure, the land starts to lift up gradually in the surrounding are, thus forming a mountain range over time. In this case the result has been the formation of the Andes, that are stretching in a linear manner, in a roughly north-south direction, from the northern part of the continent to its southern part, in close proximity of the Pacific coastline.

Why the coral reef and the mullet are part of the niche of the stonefish
Mama L [17]

Stonefish is the most venomous fish in the world. Some species of stonefish live in the rivers. Stonefish lives close to coral reefs and underwater rocks. It often lies buried in the sand in the shallow water. Stonefish is consumed as delicacy in Asia and kept in aquariums throughout the world due to its unusual appearance.

Body of stonefish is covered with encrusted brown or grey skin, with red, orange or yellow patches. Thanks to specific texture and color, stonefish easily blends with its environment (it looks like a stone or a part of the coral reef).

Hope this helps:)
