Solution

The correct option is B plates
Generally, volcanoes are created when two lithospheric plates come together. Sometimes, if one plate is heavier than the other, it goes below the other one. It then comes in contact with the mantle. The heat of the mantle melts the plate which results in the formation of magma.
