B)

A rift valley forms at a divergent boundary where two plates are stretched apart.

C)

Mountains form along a convergent plate boundary when an oceanic plate slips beneath a continental plate, resulting in an upward force on the continental plate.

Explanation: Epeirogenic movements are broad, gentle vertical uplifts or subsidences of the crust (regional warping), not the intense folding/faulting and mountain-building (orogeny) at plate boundaries described in A–C.
