Answer:
Option (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hotspots are the regions comprised of mantle plumes, in which the magma is forced to rise up forming volcanoes or chains of volcanic island. This are the places where active volcanism takes place. They are fixed and volcanoes formed when lithospheric plates move over this particular region. As these plates move away from this region it cools, undergoes subsidence and gradually extincts. They can form tails of volcanoes that are commonly known as hotspot tracks.
For example, the Hawaiian volcanoes that formed within the Pacific Plate.
Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
