Answer:

D:#2 African Plate

Step-by-step explanation:

The African Plate is flanked by the Red sea rift and the minor African plate.

The Red sea rift is a small part of a greater line of rifts known as the Great African Rift Valley. The rift valley is making several small lakes all through Africa and it will eventually split up the African continent.

The Red sea lift is the divergent boundary between the African plate and the Arabian plate. It means that the two plates are moving apart or spreading apart.
