At a great depths in the crust where two continents are colliding

Explanation:

The regional metamorphism is one that is most likely to occur when the rocks are buried deep inside the earth crust and is most associated with the convergent plate boundary and the formation of the mountain ranges and takes place within the continental slopes and has relatively young sedimentary rocks and occurs at a depth of about 10 to 20 km.
