What are 3 kinds of mountains that may be formed by the movement of tetonic plates?

Below are the 3 types of plate boundaries, not collisions. I'm not sure myself what the correct answer is, but I know that this is incorrect.
The three are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
The types of collisions are oceanic-oceanic which create Mt Pinatubi, oceanic-continental which create Mt. St. Helens, continental-continental which create the Himalayas, oceanic-oceanic which create the Ring of Fire and the transform boundary which is like the San Andreas Fault.

How can sea mounts help us understand the movement of tectonic plates?
The sea mounts help us understand the movement of tetonic plates because when the tetonic plates move's the earth's crust making little formations of sand underwater.
