Correct:
D
Explanation
The correct matching of active volcanoes to their locations is as follows: Mount Merapi is located on the island of Java in Indonesia and is considered one of the country's most active volcanoes [2]. Sakurajima is a highly active stratovolcano situated in Kagoshima, Japan, on the island of Kyushu. Mount Vesuvius is a famous volcano located in Italy, specifically near the city of Naples, and is known for its historic eruption in 79 AD. Mauna Loa is the world's largest active shield volcano, located on the island of Hawaii in the United States. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4, B-3, C-2, and D-1, which corresponds to option 4.
