The correct answer is

A) Divergent boundaries

Aurora · Answer 2

Convergent. Think: if plate zones are moving apart, why would there be an earthquake? An earthquake happens when two plates run against each other & get caught on each other, and as soon as they snap back to where they should be, you have an earthquake (because the planes shift back so quickly).
