C Correct answer
Explanation

The East African Rift Valley is a classic example of a divergent boundary, where tectonic plates are pulling apart from each other. This stretching and thinning of the crust creates deep valleys and volcanic activity. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, while convergent boundaries involve plates colliding.
