The correct answer is - B. Rhyolitic.

The rhyolitic magma has a trademark signature to be the magma type that causes the most catastrophic, powerful, explosive volcanic eruptions. This is due to the composition of the magma. This type of magma is very high in silica content, which in turn makes it very viscous, and because it is very viscous, the high amount of gasses that it contains remain trapped in it, the pressure is building up inside of it, so when it reaches the surface it is highly explosive.

ROCKS AND MINERALS
vodomira [7]

Geologists have recently determined that the minerals goethite and hematite exist in abundance on Mars, sure signs of the presence of water (see Figure 1 for a picture). None of those geologists have been to Mars, of course, but the unmanned rovers Spirit and Opportunity have. These rovers are equipped with three mass spectrometers, each of which is capable of determining the chemical composition of a solid with a high degree of accuracy. With such a precise chemical analysis in hand, geologists on Earth had no problem identifying the minerals.

A mineral is defined in part by a specific chemical composition. In theory, therefore, it is always easy to identify a mineral, if you can determine the chemical composition with a mass spectrometer like the Mars rovers. In reality, however, even if you are looking at rocks on Earth, determining the exact chemical composition of a substance involves significant time preparing the sample and sophisticated laboratory equipment (and often significant money). Luckily, it is usually unnecessary to go to such lengths, because there are much easier ways that require little more than a magnifying lens and a penknife.
