Answer: A. convergent

Most earthquakes occur at the boundary where two plates meet. This phenomena is called as convergent plate tectonics. In this phenomena the two plates moves towards each other. If the plates are of equal density then they will push each other but if they are of unequal density, the denser plate sink beneath the other plate.
