B
on land where plates slip past each other
C
in the ocean where plates do not move
D
on land where plates move towards each other

Explanation

A divergent boundary forms where two tectonic plates move away from each other. These boundaries are most commonly found beneath the ocean, where they create features such as mid-ocean ridges. Therefore, the correct choice is “in the ocean where plates move away from each other.”
