Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The hydrothermal vents are the narrow cracks or passage at the ocean floor through which the hot water comes out. The water when percolates beneath the ocean floor through the cracks, then it gets heated up reacting with the hot molten magma and again comes out through those narrow openings. These narrow openings through which the liquid or a gas is allowed to pass is known as the hydrothermal vents.  

They are commonly found near the volcanoes and the mid oceanic ridge. It plays an important role in controlling the ocean water chemistry.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
