Answer:

the correct answer is letter A. True.

Yes, of course it can only be oceanic or continental plate, because there are only two types of tectonic plate. Lithosphere of the Earth is generally composed of either oceanic plate and continental plate.

∆ Oceanic plate is the part of lithosphere usually found under the ocean/sea or in the ocean basin and thinner but dense and very hot.

∆ Continental plate on the other hand, is part of the lithosphere that is often exposed in the Earth's atmosphere and where organisms and humans live, it is thicker but less denser compared to oceanic crust.
