Frida Blevins · Answer 1

The answer is the option "c"

The eruptions are caused by an accumulation of gases that press under a volcano.

The molten rock continues to generate upward pressure but can not advanced; this causes that its force increases with the passage of time, since it continues accumulating hot gases trying to come to the surface.

Finally, the surface yields and a volcanic eruption occurs.
