The modern theory of plate tectonics states

  • A.The creation of oceanic crust and the drifting of continents
  • B.The convention currents within the earth's mantle cause the creation of new oceanic crust at the mid
  • C.That the oceanic crust is destroyed at areas where this crust type becomes subducted under the light
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

All three statements are part of plate tectonic theory: new oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and the continents drift as the plates move; convection currents in the mantle drive that motion; and the oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones where one plate descends beneath another.

Creation, driving mechanism and destruction together make one coherent theory, so the combined choice is correct.
