Beef · Answer 1

D. The youngest volcano of the track occurs at one end of the track.

Explanation:

Hotspot tracks can be described as a process in which lines of islands, atolls, and seamounts are produced as plate continues to move away from the lava stream, it carries built up volcanoes with it; as these volcanoes cool and subside.

Examples are Hawaii, Yellowstone and Iceland hotspots.
