Answer: Volcanoes are commonly found "ABOVE HOT SPOTS". which means option "C" is most correct.

Explanation: volcanoes are mountains or hill, which are conical in shape, and having a crater or vent through hot vapor, which lava, rock fragments, and gas have been erupted from the earth's crust.

Volcanoes are found at the hot spot of the earth crust. Where they is a ring of fire, which looks like the one that rounds the Pacific ocean. The hot spot are the part of the earth crust that is very hot, because

it the location of most of the Earth's subduction zones. A subduction zone is a place where one plate of oceanic lithosphere is shoved under another plate.
