Explanation:

The Nazca Plate and the South American Plate meet at a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates push toward each other. The other options: "Plates are spreading apart" describes divergent boundaries, and "Plates are sliding past each other" describes transform boundaries. The interaction between Nazca and South American Plates is convergent (pushing toward each other), forming features like the Andes Mountains.

Answer:

A. Plates are pushing toward each other.
