it turns green
nothing happens to the magma
the magma melts, wait isnt magma a liquid already?! im so confused.
the magma cools and hardens into new crust

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

At divergent tectonic boundaries, magma rises from the mantle into the gap created by moving plates. As this magma reaches the cooler surface (or near-surface environment), it loses heat, cools down, and solidifies to form new igneous rock, which becomes part of the Earth's crust. The other options are incorrect: magma does not turn green, it does undergo a change, and magma is already molten so it cannot melt further.

Answer:

The magma cools and hardens into new crust
