What will come at the place of (?)
VOLCANIC : LAVA :: GEYSER : ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is water. (In some scientific contexts, it is also referred to as 'steam', but 'water' is preferred as the primary emitted substance.)

Emission analogy: Just as a volcano erupts or becomes active, it primarily spews molten lava from within.

Similarly, geothermal activity causes a natural geyser to erupt with high pressure, erupting hot water and a column of water.
