    The appropriate answer is A. The Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Islands are a chain of volcanic islands that have formed over a hotspot in the Pacific plate. Hotspots are regions of intraplate volcanic activity where a mantle plume rises from within the mantle. This magma is low in silica and as such forms distinctive shield volcanoes.

    The Marianas and the Aleutian Islands are examples of an ocean to ocean convergence while the Himalayas were formed when two continental plates collided.
