Answer:

option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical wall of formerly melted rock that fills a fault, or fissure, is called a b<ike. Intrusive rock injected between layers is called a sill. A b<ike or sill may be only a few centimeters thick, or it may be many meters thick. Magma that flows out of a fissure, or long crack, in the earth is a lava flow.

I think the answer is Di k e. It can be found between the cracks or fractures of rocks. It crystallizes when cooled. A batholith is an igneous rock while Laccolith can be igneous or sedimentary, both are big rocks that are different from a di k e.
