Solution

The correct option is D Loud and more violent
When a volcano ejects acid lava, they are loud and violent usually because of the explosive pressures building up in magma. They eject acid lava, ash, gases and rock fragments. They are dangerous as materials can rain down on settlements. Ex: Eruptions at Krakatoa in Indonesia.
