The appropriate answer is B. DIVERGENT. Divergent margins occur where two oceanic plates are pulling apart or it can occur where a Continental landmass is pulling apart.

As oceanic plates pull apart magma up wells from the mantle and new crust is formed along what is called a spreading ridge. The Mid Alantic ridge is an example of a spreading ridge where new oceanic crust is being formed.

The plate to the left is a little more confusing, but if you look closely, it is the Okhotsk plate- you know this because there are no boundaries between the name of the plate and the epicenter.
