Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at then subduction zone?

• The oceanic crust has a greater density.

• The oceanic crust is pulled downward by the Earth's magnetic field.

• The oceanic crust is pushed from the ridge.

• The continental crust has a denser composition.
