Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is similar to the convection currents of all fluids. The mantle is semi-plastic – meaning the rocks are hot enough to melt but remain ‘solid’due to the enormous pressure in the region. The currents are slow and though frictional drag they cause movement of tectonic plates of the crust above as they churn.
