The answers would be:

A. Divergent boundaries

D. Normal faults

If you'd like to know why:

Tension is a type of stress on rocks where the rocks are pulled apart in opposite directions. The rock either stretches or it breaks.

A divergent boundary is a good example. This type of boundary occurs when two plates are pulling away from each other.

A normal fault on the other hand is created when a vertical stress causes the hanging wall to be pushed downwards relative to the footwall.

Notice that in both scenarios, the rocks are pulled apart. Horizontally in the first, vertically in the second.

Hello:) anyone able to help me with the 3rd point? I don’t understand it :( thank you !
Stels [109]

The two tectonic plates meet at point one. One is moving under the other, shown by the two arrows on the top pointing towards each other. The denser plate (left side) is subducted. This means the denser plate begins to go under the less dense plate. The lithosphere (crust/tectonic plate) is mainly solid rock. As it begins to go into the mantle it will begin to heat up as the mantle is hotter than the surface. The solid surface becomes a molten rock, known as magma. It melts as it goes down.
