Answer 1

The correct response is:

The mid-ocean ridge formed at divergent plate boundaries. The Himalayas formed at convergent plate boundaries.

This is because mid-ocean ridges are formed where tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust, while the Himalayas were formed as a result of the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which is a convergent boundary.
