The correct answer is convergent.
The correct answer is "convergent". When two plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent boundary. In order to find this answer, you can start by understanding the different types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform.
To determine the correct answer, you need to know that convergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates collide or come together. In contrast, divergent boundaries occur when two plates move apart, and transform boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally.
By understanding the definitions and characteristics of these different plate boundary types, you can find the correct answer by selecting "convergent".
