How might the surface landscape above a laccolith look?

-It would look like a thin, horizontal band because it was formed with magma that had a high viscosity.-It would look like a depression or bowl because the laccolith below is a sheet-like structure from a centimeter up to a kilometer in thickness.-It would look like an uplift or dome because the laccolith below is a lens-shaped mass of magma that pushes the rock above it upward.<<i believe its here

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question, but anyway, hope this helps. A laccolith is a sheet intrusion (or concordant pluton) that has been injected between two layers of sedimentary rock. The surface landscape above a laccolith might look like an uplift or dome because the laccolith below is a lens-shaped mass of magma that pushes the rock above it upward.
