The African Plate is a major tectonic plate straddling the equator as well as the prime meridian. It includes much of the continent of Africa, as well as oceanic crust which lies between the continent and various surrounding ocean ridges. Between 60 million years ago and 10 million years ago, the Somali Plate began rifting from the African Plate along the East African Rift.[2] Since the continent of Africa consists of crust from both the African and the Somali plates, some literature refers to the African Plate as the Nubian Plate to distinguish it from the continent as a whole.
The correct answer is - B) convection currents in the mantle.
There's multiple tectonic plates on the surface on the planet, around 17 from what is known so far, but as the scientific methods are developing there might be few more discovered in the years to come.
These plates are all moving, only few cm per year, but on the long term it influences and changes everything on the surface on the Earth.
The movement of the plates is the result of the convection currents in the mantle layer beneath. These convection currents are essentially the combination of the high temperatures, high pressures, and viscous metals, and they managed to break up the crust on the surface, and with its push force, they are slowly moving the plates.
With the movement of the plates and their collisions and moving away, lots of earthquakes and volcanoes are appearing all over the plate boundaries.

If a country is isolated, it will have to produce everything that it needs: especially food clothes and medicine. It won't be able to specialize, but it will have to focus on satisfying the needs of the people.
If it is not isolated, it can specialize in the things that it can produce the best and fastest, and hope to exchange it for the things that it can't produce.
