D Correct answer
Explanation

The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary where the Pacific Plate slides past the North American Plate horizontally. Transform boundaries don't create or destroy crust: they accommodate lateral motion between plates. Convergent boundaries involve collision, divergent boundaries involve separation, and 'Misvergent' isn't a real geological term.
