Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes  earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct

Answer:

a bacterium

Explanation:

<em>Penicillium nonatum is a type of </em><em>bacterium</em><em>.</em>

<u>Bacteria are prokaryotic, microscopic organisms that are capable of adopting different lifestyles based on their mode of nutrition. While some are capable of manufacturing their foods via photosynthesis/chemosynthesis, some are saprophytic in nature while others lives as parasites on living organisms.</u>

Those that lives as parasites are often capable of causing diseases and are therefore called pathogens.

Penicillium nonatum is capable of producing a substance that has the capacity to inhibit the growth of another bacteria. Substances that are capable of inhibiting or killing bacteria are generally known as antibiotics.
