Solution

The correct option is D Lava is magma that reaches the surface of the Earth.
Due to very high temperatures in the interior part of the Earth, materials are present in a molten state called magma. Sometimes, this material gets released through fissures or vents in the crust that we now know as volcanoes. Lava is thus, magma that reaches the surface of the Earth.
