The correct answer is - D. A continental plate meets an oceanic plate and form a subduction zone.

When a continental and oceanic tectonic plates collide, the heavier, denser, oceanic plate starts to subduct under the lighter, less dense continental tectonic plate. From the place of subduction, the extreme temperature, pressure, and magma are able to push through to the surface. As they reach the surface they start to produce volcanic activity, and as the surface is lifting, the volcanoes emerge above the sea level, thus creating a chain of volcanic arc islands.

Margarita [4]

Answer: b. Orchid mantises tend to be advantaged in habitats that remain constant; the rain forest habitat is likely to shift because of global climate change.

Explanation:

The orchid mantis is a predator in South East Asia that camouflages itself as an orchid to catch its prey.

While the tropical cockroach is a more hardy specie, the optimum habitat for orchid mantises is one with limited variation in temperature, moisture and humidity. Therefore, as temperatures increase and climate change results in severe weather changes, it will lead to adverse effects on orchid mantises.
