Answer:

A. may have volcanic activity

Step-by-step explanation:

Volcanic activity results in the emission of dangerous gases that are explosive and lasts for long hours when they occur. Sudden energy release lead to the occurrence of the volcanoes that is caused by the movement of magma on the surface.

The volcanoes, therefore, erupt when magma is in the surface; magma itself occurs when the earth melts. Melting occurs when the tectonic plates pull apart or when one plate is pulled down. When the magma is thick, it is difficult for gas bubbles to escape, and because of this pressure builds up, leading to the rising of magma.
