Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The Red sea is a recently formed oceanic body that came into existence due to the divergent movement of Africa and the Arabian peninsula. It was initially split from the time of Eocene, and from Oligocene period, the rate of splitting increased and eventually formed the current Red sea. It will keep sharing a divergent boundary and after some millions of years, it will become an ocean.

According to the research, it has been confirmed about the occurrence of hot saline brine, that are found to be present in association with the metalliferous mud.

Thus, Red sea is the site of divergent plate boundary.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
