Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A The interior of the Earth has a very high temperature.
B The material in the interior part is present in the molten state.
D The material gets released through fissures in the Earth's crust.

Due to the very high temperature in the interior part of the Earth, materials are in the molten state called magma. Sometimes, this material gets released through the fissures in the crust called a volcano. During volcanic eruptions, lava, gaseous material, dust, ash, etc., are thrown out.
