During the collision, the oceanic plate is bent downwards as the rocks are forced down into the mantle. This collision creates a trench between the two plates and folding at the surface of the continental plate.

The feature that forms when one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other is typically a submarine volcano. This occurs in subduction zones where the oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle, leading to volcanic activity. Therefore, the correct response is:
a submarine volcano.
