convergent
transform
divergent
rewatch
The Mid - Atlantic Ridge is formed at a divergent plate boundary. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart from each other. Magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust, which is how the Mid - Atlantic Ridge is formed. Convergent boundaries involve plates moving towards each other (leading to subduction or mountain building), and transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other. So the correct option is the one labeled "Divergent".
