Answer:

C (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below/under the less dense plate. Forms a subduction zone.

Answer:

The denser plate is subducted underneath the less dense plate

Step-by-step explanation:

When two oceanic plates collide one oceanic plate is eventually subducted under the other. ... When two oceanic plates collide, the denser plate is subducted and some material rises upward and forms an ISLAND.
