Answer;

Stock

Explanation;

  • A stock is an igneous intrusion that has a surface exposure of less than 100 square kilometers, and differs from batholiths by only being smaller.
  • Therefore, the difference between "stock" and "batholith" is based on the area exposed at surface. A batholith has a exposed surface area of at least 100 square km, while a stock has an area of less than 100 square km
