The process that creates the deep oceanic trenches is called

A. plate tectonics

B. sea floor spreading

C. continental drift

D. isostasy

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Trenches are formed by subduction, a geophysical process in which two or more of Earth's tectonic plates converge and the older, denser plate is pushed beneath the lighter plate and deep into the mantle, causing the seafloor and outermost crust (the lithosphere) to bend and form a steep, V-shaped depression.
