Answer 1

Answer: A. The molten mixture of rock-forming substances, gases, and water from the mantle

Magma is a mass of molten rock that is found in the deepest layers of the Earth at high temperature and pressure, and that can flow out through a volcano.

The composition of this mass is a mixture of liquids, volatile and solids that when they reach the surface in an eruption becomes lava, which when cooled crystallizes and gives rise to the formation of igneous rocks.
