A rift valley is a large elongated depression with steep walls formed by the downward displacement of a block of the earth's surface between nearly parallel faults or fault systems.It is more commonly referred to as a cliff. 
Rifts can occur at all elevations, from the sea floor to plateaus and mountain ranges.
Convergent boundaries mostly result in the creation of mountain ranges. Its in a divergent boundary. So either B or D. Most likely B, because must divergent boundaries are mostly continental.
