Solution

The correct option is B Crater

Volcanic crater is a circular depression in the ground caused by volcanic activity. It's typically a basin, circular in form within which occurs a vent from which magma erupts as gases, lava, and ejecta. A crater can be of large dimensions, and sometimes of great depth.
