The answer is; C

It is located in the Pacific ocean. This is a subduction zone where several plates meet including the Eurasian, Pacific plate and North American plate, and collide. This zone is home to approximately 450 active volcanoes and is the source of a large proportion of the powerful earthquakes that rock the world.
