Answer:

basalt is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

basalt rocks would most likely be formed from an erupting volcano.

basalt rock is an example of extrusive igneous rocks.

extrusive igneous rocks are form when the molten lava cools and solidifies over the Earth's surface.

basalt rocks are form when the lava reaches near the Earth's surface by erupting volcanoes and it cooled quickly.

Whereas Granite and gabbro are intrusive igneous rocks and they are formed when the magma cool and solidify beneath the earth's surface.
