Answer:

The correct answer is A. A shield volcano is formed from repeated non-explosive eruptions of flowing lava.

Explanation:

A shield volcano is a type of volcano with a broad and gentle slope and a large bottom that looks like a shield. Such volcanoes are usually composed of basalt magma, have high fluidity and low viscosity, so they can be distributed in a large area to form a broad mountain shape. The shield volcanic cone is formed by a layer of rock flow that flows around the volcano. This happens mostly in the ocean, the most famous example being the Hawaiian Islands, where each island of the archipelago is a huge shield volcano.
