The correct description of how the islands of Hawaii were formed is:

The islands sit on hotspots that form volcanoes which then break the ocean surface.

Hawaii was formed by volcanic activity over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, which created a series of islands as molten rock erupted from below the ocean floor.
