    Answer: (B) Ridge push and slab pull

    Explanation: In ridge push, the mantle wells upward because of the convection and elevates the edges of spreading oceanic plates. Because these plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill due to gravity and eventually flatten out to the ocean floor.
