Answer:

A. become older

Step-by-step explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.They technically would be old rocks because once the lava dries out it will spew out new rock, pushing away the older rock.
