Check Maceline · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  An oceanic transform plate boundary is most commonly associated with a mid-ocean ridge, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary is not typically associated with the formation of oceanic trenches or mountain belts/island arcs, which are more characteristic of convergent boundaries.
