Answer:

C) Volcanic activity.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an oceanic plate is subducted ( brought underneath) under a continental plate, the sediments of seafloor which is rich in water and carbon dioxide are also brought under the plate .These elements act as flux reducing the melting point of magma which comes out in the form of volcanic eruption.
