Answer:

I would most definitely say D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The collision of tectonic plates causes earth quakes no? So when it happens the molten rock below the ground goes up and finds the most suitable exit, a volcano.

it could be D

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not expert here I have the brain of a peanut but it could be D which is the collision of tectonic plates, because earthquakes tend to happen when the tectonic plates like shift and interact with each other and when its near like the Volcanoes it can cause a off balance and disruption to those inactive Volcanoes and cause them to well burst up magma.

I hope this helps
