Destructive plate boundaries are when...

a)

... a continental and oceanic plate move towards each other and the oceanic plate is subducted

b)

... 2 continental plates move towards each other but neither plate is forced down, forming mountains

c)

... any 2 plates move apart from each other, magma rises in the gpa between the plates and new land is created

d)

... any 2 plates are trying to slide past each other, friction builds up overtime until eventually they slip past one another
