The correct response is:
2) Two plates collide, and one sinks below the other.
At a subduction zone, typically an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate or another oceanic plate, and the denser oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle, creating a trench and leading to various geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
