A) The seismic tomographic map and cross section do show evidence for present day mantle convection and offers a strong affirmation of mantle convection.
B) The seismic tomographic map and cross section do show evidence present day mantle convection but this data cannot be used as evidence for mantle convection.
C) The seismic tomographic map and cross section has a random pattern of S-wave velocities and offers no evidence for anything.
