Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: When two oceanic plate moves in opposite direction due to the convection current generated in the mantle, the crust gets thinner and eventually magma comes out to the ocean floor, forming new crust. Due to this divergent movement, a chain of volcanic arc are formed in their vicinity.

The Mercalli Intensity Scale ranges from "Not felt" to "Catastrophic" going through 12 scale intensities.
