B. Particle larger than 64 mm in size ejected as glowing lava

Answer 2

Volcanic bomb is a particle larger than 64 mm in size ejected as glowing lava.   Correct answer: B

These masses of molten rock are often found near the vent (due to size) but sometimes propelled great distances. Their shape is determined by the initial size, viscosity, and flight velocity of the lava bomb.
