is it A
Yep! And here is some information to look into. :)
Convergent Plate Boundaries When two plates converge, what happens depends on the types of lithosphere that meet. We explored what happens when oceanic crust meets continental crust. Another type of convergent plate boundary is found where two oceanic plates meet. In this case the older, denser slab of oceanic crust will plunge beneath the less dense one. Ocean-Ocean The features of a subduction zone where an oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate are the same as a continent-ocean subduction zone. An ocean trench marks the location where the plate is pushed down into the mantle. In this case, the line of volcanoes that grows on the upper oceanic plate is an island arc. Do you think earthquakes are common in these regions (Figure below)? http://www.ck12.org/earth-science/Ocean-Ocean-Convergent-Plate-Boundaries/lesson/Ocean-Ocean-Convergent-Plate-Boundaries-HS-ES/
