Answer:

A. The Pacific plate is being subducted under the North American plate.

Explanation:

The distribution of volcanoes among the northwest all the way up to Alaska is due to the crashing of two tectonic plates. In the northwest, one of the pacific plates, specifically the oceanic Farallon Plate is being subdued or pushed under the North American Plate. When this happens, rocks beneath the surface melt and become magma, which raises to the surface to build volcanoes.

anzhelika [568]

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options for this question.

However, trying to help you we can comment based on our knowledge of the topic.

Based on this description, the category in which Country X could most reliably be placed is "hybrid regime."

This is a strange political regime that combines autocratic and dictatorial forms of government with some traits of democracy. The corrupt government allows for elections so people can participate in this to elect the President and their representatives, but not always respect the results of the election if the winner is not the candidate that favors the interests of the people in power.
