The correct answer is **C. I, II, and III**.
Lithospheric plates can interact in several ways:
I. They can collide with each other (convergent boundaries).
II. One plate may slide under another plate (subduction zones, a specific type of convergent boundary).
III. They can slide past each other (transform boundaries).
All three interactions are valid types of plate interactions.
