Which statement best describes the motion of the plates along these boundaries that causes the earthquakes? The plates push apart from each other with no subduction. Subduction occurs with the less-dense plate sinking below the other plate. Subduction occurs with the more-dense plate sinking below the other plate. The plates smash together with no subduction.

D). The plates smash together with no subduction.

Explanation:

As per the question, the last statement most adequately demonstrates the movement of plates i.e. 'the plates hit together without any detraction' through concurring boundaries causing the earthquakes to take place. The continuous smashing of tectonic plates with one another leads to the development of a pressure towards both the rock layers by the time this stress is released through a shaky or convulsive movement of the Earth. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
