Answer:

The correct option is (B)mantle convection

Explanation:

Tectonic plates at the earth's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. this heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell and producing a movement called mantle convection which is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate.
