Solution

The correct option is A extinct volcano

Aconcagua is the highest mountain outside Asia, at 6,961 metres and by extension the highest point in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Aconcagua is of volcanic origin, but it is not an active volcano and cab be considered as extinct.
