The correct response is: **A tectonic plate is moving over a volcanic hot spot underneath it.**
As the tectonic plate moves over the stationary hotspot, it allows magma to rise and create new islands in a series. Over time, as the plate continues to move, older islands get carried away from the hotspot, while new ones are formed, resulting in a chain of islands.
