The correct answer is B Subduction. Subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate gets dragged under another plate and is eventually destroyed in the mantle. Subduction occurs at convergent margins where two oceanic plates collide or an oceanic and Continental plate collide. Oceanic crust is made of mainly of silica and magnesium which is heavier or denser than continental crust which is composed mainly of silica and aluminium.
The subducting plate melts producing excess magma giving rise to volcanoes along these margins.

The North Korean people are starving due to a lack of political international medical aid and wise farming methods.
Natasha2012 [34]
I don't know whether this is the best way of phrasing it , but the statement is true.

North Korea is a dictatorship, and the government is not allowing medical aid from abroad because they don't want to loose their control of the territory.

They also don't use the methods of farming found in other places and which proved to be more efficient.
