Answer 1

Hi!

The answer would be D. When crust from within the Earths upper mantle and comes up to the surface.

This forms a mountain NOT a volcano. There is nothing in this statement about lava or magma. A is from a divergent plate, B is a hotspot and C is a convergent plate.

Hope this helps !
