convergent boundary
divergent boundary
transform boundary
transfer boundary

Explanation:

To determine the correct plate boundary, we analyze each option:

• Convergent boundary: Occurs when two tectonic plates move toward each other, often causing one plate to subduct (go under) the other, which matches the diagram's depiction of plates colliding and one subducting.
• Divergent boundary: Plates move apart, creating new crust (e.g., mid - ocean ridges), which does not match the diagram.
• Transform boundary: Plates slide past each other horizontally (e.g., San Andreas Fault), no subduction or collision as shown, so incorrect.
• Transfer boundary: Not a standard tectonic boundary term.

So the correct answer is the convergent boundary option.

Answer:

A. convergent boundary
