The question is defective. Nothing on the list is a force.

Subduction, convection, converging, and spreading are all DRIVEN by forces, but no force has been named yet.

The forces that drive Plate Tectonics include: Convection in the Mantle (heat driven) Ridge push (gravitational force at the spreading ridges) Slab pull (gravitational force in subduction zones)
