Answer 2

Answer:

(D) Pahoehoe

Explanation:

Pahoehoe lava flows are described by smooth, lightly undulating, or broadly hummocky surfaces. The liquid lava running beneath a thin, still-plastic crust drags and twists it into tapestry-like folds and rolls relating twisted rope. Pahoehoe lava flows are maintained substantially wholly internally by rivers of liquid lava flowing beneath a fixed or partly solidified surface.
