Solution

The correct option is C Mount Vesuvius
The town of Pompeii in Italy is located near the slope of Mount Vesuvius. On 24 August 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted, dooming the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Mount Vesuvius is still an active Volcano. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of its proximity to the city of Naples and surrounding towns to the nearby slopes. Its last major eruption was in 1944.
