I believe that the correct answer is c. The boundaries of earth's plates. This is because when the plates move the mantle seeps out through the gaps the previous plate had been at this is also called seafloor spreading because as the mantle seeps up it forms new crust that pushes the other plates further apart

Answer;

C. the boundaries of Earth’s plates.

Step-by-step explanation;

A volcanic belt is a large volcanically active region. Volcanic belts are found above zones of unusually high temperature where magma is created by partial melting of solid material in the Earth's.

Volcanic belts may be formed by multiple tectonic settings. They may be formed by subduction zones, which is an area on Earth where two tectonic plates meet and move towards one another.
