<h3>A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point.

B. Is an illustration of a hot spot volcano. These types of volcanos have formed the Hawaii islands. The island of Hawaii has an active volcano due to the action of a hot spot.
C. Is an illustration of a subduction zone. The heat and pressure that results from the ocean plate being pushed and pulled under a continental plate results in volcanos. Mt. St Helens is an example of volcano that results from a subduction zone.
D. is the correct answer, In a rift valley the magma can flow out through the break in the crust without forming a volcano. Western Oregon has vast lava beds of basaltic lava. There are no volcanos that were the source of these horizontal layers of lava.
