Answer: B. Rhyolitic

Rhyolitic magma is responsible for most violent volcanic eruptions. Rhyolitic magma erupts catastrophically with high intensity gas content. This magma being more viscous traps gases, builds pressures and erupts explosively. High viscosity of this magma is because of high silica content that erupt with the mineral contents of the rocks.
