Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the first question about subduction zones.

Subduction zones occur where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. This happens at convergent boundaries, and most commonly involves an oceanic plate subducting under a continental plate, or another oceanic plate.

Step 2: Analyze the second question about volcano type.

The image displays a fissure volcano, characterized by linear volcanic vents through which lava erupts, usually without explosive activity. The lava flows out and creates relatively flat landforms. Other volcano types exhibit different characteristics, like the conical shapes of cinder cones and composite volcanoes or the broad, gently sloping domes of shield volcanoes. The image doesn't match these descriptions.

Final Answer:

C and A. Subduction zones form at convergent boundaries, most commonly between converging oceanic and continental plates. The image depicts a fissure volcano.
