Answer:

B. Both are formed when the groundwater gets heated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hot springs and geysers are very similar when it comes to how they are formed. The obvious difference is that geysers force up jets of water, whilst hot springs flow water out on their own. They are both formed when the groundwater gets heated from molten rock(magma).

This is reliable because I took the same quiz and got the question right.
