When one tectonic plate slides beneath another, the correct answer is:
**D.) material from the Earth's surface is returned to the interior.**
This process is known as subduction, where an oceanic plate is typically forced down into the mantle beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate, leading to the recycling of materials into the Earth's interior.
