Answer:

c. Shield

Step-by-step explanation:

Shield vulcanos hold that name because they resemble the shape of the shield – round, wide, but low profile, without the “sharp” tip. Their gentle sides come from the very fluid lava that comes out of them that can flow slowly and for a long time before turning to stone and solidifying at its edges.

Hawaii volcanoes are famous examples of shield volcanoes. The chain of shield volcanoes on the islands has over 40 very old volcanoes.

Even though these volcanoes look “small” and low, they are large and tall, especially considering their depth below the waterline. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the second largest volcano on Earth.
