The best explanation for what will most likely occur at a transform plate boundary is:
**D. Earthquakes will occur when the two different plates slide past each other.**
At transform plate boundaries, two tectonic plates slide past one another horizontally. This movement can cause stress to build up along faults, leading to earthquakes when the stress is released. While volcanic activity can occur at other types of plate boundaries, it is not a primary characteristic of transform boundaries.
