Answer 1

The feature that is characteristic of most stratovolcanoes is:

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

Stratovolcanoes are known for their conical shape, steep slopes, and eruptions that can be quite explosive due to the high viscosity of their lava, which is often andesitic to rhyolitic in composition.
