Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

The mid-ocean ridge is formed where tectonic plates are pulling apart (divergent), while the Himalayas were formed where two continental plates are colliding (convergent).
