converging boundaries


B.
diverging boundaries


C.

Answer 1

The formation of Mount St. Helens is mainly associated with **A. converging boundaries**. Specifically, it is located along the boundary where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction process is a key driver of volcanic activity, including the explosive eruptions seen at Mount St. Helens.
