A.
mid-ocean ridges
B.
volcanoes
C.
marshes
D.
deltas

Answer 1

At a convergent plate boundary, the collision of tectonic plates often leads to the formation of volcanoes, particularly if one plate is subducting beneath another. Therefore, based on the image and information provided, the most likely formation at point X as a result of the converging plates would be:

**B. volcanoes**.
