I can’t see the illustration — could you upload it or describe it?
Meanwhile, here are quick ID tips so you can pick the correct answer:
- Seafloor spreading (C): plates are moving apart, magma upwelling at a mid‑ocean ridge, new oceanic crust forming, a rift or ridge shown.
- Plate convergence (D): plates moving toward each other, subduction trench or mountain building (folded/ uplifted rocks) shown.
- Erosion (A): material being worn away and transported by water, wind, ice; particles being carried off.
- Weathering (B): rock breaking down in place (chemical or physical) without transport.
If the picture shows a mid‑ocean ridge and new crust, choose C. If it shows plates colliding and mountains or a trench, choose D. If it shows breaking down of rock in place, choose B. If it shows sediment being carried away, choose A.
