Answer: C. magma

Explanation: This molten rock is called magma. Molten rock that reaches Earth's surface is called lava. An igneous rock is classified on the basis of its mineral composition and the size of its mineral crystals. A rock formed from magma can have the same composition as a rock formed from lava.
