First you must know what a divergent boundary is. It is when plate tectonics move away from each other. Then look up to see what each of those options are referred to as a "divergent boundary". I believe @littleelfie is correct, but please no direct answers. Thanks.

Plates that travel apart, or diverge from each other at a divergent boundary. 

Examples: Iceland, a large island in the North Atlantic Ocean has volcanic activity because it is part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. ‘The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary that has formed as the North American plate moved westward and as the Eurasian plate moved eastward.’ Connexus academy 

I would say C. 

 The Andes Mountains isn't a DI-vergent boundary; it is a convergent boundary. Also, I would say that all mountains are out of the way. So, not B or A.
