The correct answer is - A) The region is bound by many oceanic trenches.

The Ring of Fire, roughly marking the borders of the Pacific plate with the other plates with which it is in contact, is well known for its geologic activity with the volcanoes and earthquakes, but also it is a place where there's lot of oceanic trenches.

The oceanic trenches appear only on places where an oceanic plate is subducting bellow a continental plate, thus they are a nice evidence of the type of boundary between the plates.

The trenches in this part are numerous, with the Mariana Trench being the best known because it is the deepest place on Earth, than the Tonga Trench, Bougainville Trench, Java Trench, Aleutian Trench, Peru-Chile Trench, and many others.

Answer:

b) the Pacific plate has carried the volcanoes away from the hot spot that formed them

Explanation:

The Hawaiian islands all have volcanic origin. Some are not active, while some still are. All of these islands have been active volcanoes at one point of time, and they have been created by a hot spot that lies beneath the Pacific plate. The hot spot has such a power that it actually manages to break through the central part of the plate where its crust is the strongest and densest. As the magma manages to come out above the water, it manages to create volcanic islands. The Pacific plate though is moving, it is not static, so it drags the volcanic islands away from the hot spot, causing their extinguishing. As those islands are moved away, the hot spot creates new volcanic islands, and the process constantly continuous, resulting in a volcanic island chain.
