The correct feature of most stratovolcanoes is:

steep sides near the top with thick, slow-moving lava.

Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are characterized by their steep sides due to the accumulation of thick lava flows and volcanic ash. They typically have explosive eruptions due to the viscosity of the lava, which can lead to the build-up of pressure.
