A) Divergent boundaries

B) Transform boundaries

C) Convergent boundaries

The divergent boundaries: These boundaries are also called a spreading boundary. This will occur at the stage where two plates of the earth move away from each other

Convergent boundaries: These boundaries also called the colliding boundaries. This will happened when the plates of the earth move towards each other.

Transform boundaries: when the tectonic plates of the earth move in past from each other and when they meet and where these plates meet is called a transform boundary.
