Answer:

Option d, A Subduction Zone

Step-by-step explanation:

A subduction zone is formed when two plates collide and one sinks below the other. Thus, option A is incorrect

The other options are incorrect because

Oceanic ridge is the upliftment of mountains due to the convection currents beneath the ocean.

Rift Valley is formed by the subsidence of land mass due to the action of fault or rift.

Ocean basin and deep sea trench is a depression in the earth surface
