D. Divergent boundary

Explicación

## Step 1The problem describes a geological process where tectonic plates push apart from each other and magma rises to the surface. This process is characteristic of a specific type of plate boundary.## Step 2We need to identify the type of plate boundary that matches this description. The options provided are transform boundary, convergent boundary, subduction fault, and divergent boundary.## Step 3A transform boundary is where two plates slide past each other. This does not match the description given in the problem.## Step 4A convergent boundary is where two plates move towards each other. This also does not match the description given in the problem.## Step 5A subduction fault is a type of convergent boundary where one plate is forced under another. This also does not match the description given in the problem.## Step 6A divergent boundary is where two plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new crust. This matches the description given in the problem.
