if this is is a True or False question I think it would be (False). Because the continental crust is lighter than the oceanic crust, and the continental crust cannot subduct.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Ocean lithosphere is about 60km thick and very dense, whereas continental lithosphere is about 120km and less dense. That is why when they collide, ocean plates subduct under continental ones.
