At which type of boundary does tension often occur?

Answer
A
convergent
B
divergent
C
subduction

Tension is a pulling-apart force. It often occurs at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other, so the correct choice is divergent. Convergent boundaries commonly involve compression, while transform boundaries involve plates sliding past one another.
