im not sure if this is completely but i believe that it is C. sliding past each other, because when they press against each other they build tension, then when the slip past each other it creates tremendous force thus having earthquakes

The correct answer to the question about earthquakes along convergent margins is B. colliding, as this is where tectonic plates crash into each other, creating stress that can result in earthquakes. Understanding the interactions at plate margins is crucial to comprehending geological activity. Convergent boundaries are particularly important in earthquake dynamics.
