Answer: New oceanic crust is formed at mid ocean ridges, pushed away from the ridge, and destroyed at deep-sea trenches (Option B)

Explanation:

Sea floor spreading is a process in which new ocean floor is created through volcanic activity.  

In the early 1900, Alfred Wegener, came up with a theory of continental drift.It is the idea that continents have been shifting positions on the earth’s surface over time and in 1960’s Henry Hess proved Wegener's  idea right. Seafloor spreading aids in explaining the continental drift.

<span>Seafloor spreading happens in the "mid-ocean ridges".  Since B is the only option with the correct forming location... I would go with that :) Plus I'm in that test too right now, found a reliable article on it here if you wanna take a look: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/seafloor-spreading/
