Fine grained igneous rocks are formed when molten rock cool relatively quickly so large crystals are unable to form. The correct option in the diagram is 4.
This rapid cooling can only occur at the surface when lava erupted from volcanoes interacts with the air. Fined grained igneous rocks are called extrusive igneous rocks. Basalt and andesite are examples of such rocks. The diagram or image most likely shows volcanoes or lava flows.
The igneous rock forms when magma from inside Earth cools and solidifies. When this occurs on the surface following a volcanic eruption, it can form fine-grained igneous rock like basalt. Thus, geologically active landscapes depicted by this diagram would be the most probable site to find such bedrock.
