D) Trench

Step-by-step explanation:

At this boundary, the landform that is most likely to form is trench.

A trench is one of the notable subduction features that occurs as a prominent depression on the earth surface where one plate slides under another.

• A trench is very deep and also very narrow.
• It is a highly conspicuous and prominent feature on the ocean floor.
• At a subduction zone, the denser oceanic plate slides under that lighter continental plate.
• Some of the deepest part of the earth can be found along deep ocean trenches.
• An example is the Mariana trench.
