Answer: A. Convergent play boundary

Step-by-step explanation:

The westward-moving South American Plate is moving away from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and on its western edge, it forms a convergent boundary with the subducting Nazca Plate. Convergence occurs when two plates are pushing into each other. (I looked it up lol)
