The continental crust rise above the oceanic crust when they meet because the continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust.

The continental crust refers to the upper-most layer of the earth's lithosphere found on the dry land.

The oceanic crust refers to the upper-most layer of the earth's lithosphere found under the ocean.

Most of the continental crust are dry land above sea level, so they are less dense which result to them rising above the oceanic crust whenever the two crust met

Therefore, the Option B is correct.
