The answer is; B

The picture depicts two tectonic plates colliding with one submerging under the other. In most cases, the oceanic plates are subducted under the tectonic plate. This forms a destructive tectonic boundary. An example of this boundary is between the Nazca plate and South American plate and between Pacific Plate and Eurasian Plate.
