The correct term for the boundary where oceanic lithosphere plunges beneath an overriding continental plate is a **convergent oceanic-continental boundary**. At this type of boundary, the denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate, leading to geological phenomena such as volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges.
