Answer:
When an oceanic and a continental plate collide, eventually the oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate due to the high density of the oceanic plate. Once again a benioff zone forms where there are shallow intermediate and deep focus earthquakes.

A. Trench is formed on the oceanic side when oceanic and continental crust collide.
Explanation:
Subduction is the name for this procedure. At the subduction boundary, a deep ocean trench forms.
Trench:
- A trench is a form of ground excavation or depression that is often deeper than it is wide and narrow in comparison to its length.
- Trenches are formed by river erosion or the geological movement of tectonic plates in geology.
Volcano:
- A volcano is a crack in the earth's crust that allows lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape.
- Liquid magma with dissolved gases rises through cracks in the Earth's crust beneath a volcano.
Mountain:
- A mountain is a landform that rises dramatically above its surroundings, usually with steep slopes, a small peak area, and significant local relief.
- Mountains are often thought to be larger than hills, but the term has no geological definition.
Volcanic Island Arc:
- A volcanic arc is a series of volcanoes that originate above a subducting plate and are arranged in an arc shape as viewed from above. Volcanoes off the coast
