In the middle of a tectonic plate, you may find **hotspot volcanoes**. Hotspots are locations where plumes of hot mantle material rise towards the Earth's surface, leading to volcanic activity independent of tectonic plate boundaries. An example of this is the Hawaiian Islands, which were formed by hotspot volcanism as the Pacific Plate moves over a stationary hotspot.
The other options you've mentioned—subduction zones, volcanic arcs, and island arcs—are related to tectonic plate boundaries, particularly convergent boundaries where one plate is forced under another.
