Answer:

b. is more dense than continental lithosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The continental lithosphere is thicker then the oceanic lithosphere (about 150 km vs 50-100 km).
  • Oceanic lithosphere is slightly denser and younger than continental lithosphere

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
