B. Sliding past each other

Explicación

## Step 1Transform plate boundaries are a type of plate tectonic boundary where two plates slide past each other. This is different from convergent boundaries, where plates move towards each other, and divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other.## Step 2The movement of these plates is due to the convection currents in the Earth's mantle. These currents cause the plates to move, and the type of boundary formed depends on the direction of this movement.## Step 3In the case of transform boundaries, the plates are moving horizontally past each other. This movement can cause earthquakes, as the plates can get stuck and then suddenly release, causing seismic activity.
