Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The matching of volcano types to their locations is as follows: Shield volcanoes are characterized by fluid basaltic lava and gentle slopes, with the Hawaiian volcanoes (Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea) being the most famous examples [3]. Composite volcanoes (stratovolcanoes) are steep-sided cones common in volcanic arcs like the Philippines (e.g., Mt. Mayon) and Indonesia [4]. Calderas are large depressions formed by the collapse of a volcano after a massive eruption; Indonesia is home to some of the world's most significant calderas, such as Toba and Krakatoa. Flood Basalt Provinces are vast accumulations of basaltic lava flows covering thousands of square kilometers; the Deccan Traps in India are one of the largest and most prominent examples of such a province globally [3]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2.
