Your answer would be B, or divergent.

Let's go through what each of these boundaries are.

Transform: When two plates move along their boundary. For example, if you were looking at a boundary running north to south, one plate would be shifting north, the other south.

Divergent: When two plates are moving away from each other, and new land is being made in between them.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other, and land is being destroyed between them.

(Subduction is not a boundary, it has to do with earthquakes but that is a subduction zone, not boundary).

What is being described here sounds to be along the lines of a divergent boundary, as the African plate is separating while moving in opposite directions. This means that the two plates are moving away from each other.

Therefore, I would say the boundary of the East African Rift is a divergent boundary.

Hope this helped!

I would say cover the soil. In order for it to be secure and/or washing away, it has to be secured with a cover. You cannot put the soil beneath the ground because it wouldn’t get the nutrients it needs. So the answer would be number one.
