Answer 1

The correct answer is oceanic crust. At a divergent plate boundary, two tectonic plates move away from each other, creating a gap or a rift. This rift allows magma from the mantle to rise up and fill the gap, solidifying and forming new oceanic crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading. Therefore, the correct answer is oceanic crust.
