The correct answer is D. taphrogenic.
Plate divergence refers to the process where tectonic plates move apart from each other, typically at mid-ocean ridges. This movement leads to the creation of new oceanic crust and is associated with rifting processes, which are known as taphrogenic processes. These processes can also result in the formation of rift valleys and other geological features.
