Question
Read the following excerpt and answer the following questions. The excerpt is taken from Girls and Athletics published by American Sports Publishing Company.
VOLCANOES
Connected with movements of the earth’s crust which take place so slowly that they can be inferred only from their effects is one of the most rapid and impressive of all geological processes,—the extrusion of molten rock from beneath the surface of the earth, giving rise to all the various phenomena of volcanoes.
In a volcano, molten rock from a region deep below, which we may call its reservoir, ascends through a pipe or fissure to the surface. The materials erupted may be spread over vast areas, or, as is commonly the case, may accumulate about the opening, forming a conical pile known as the volcanic cone. It is to this cone that popular usage refers the word volcano; but the cone is simply a conspicuous part of the volcanic mechanism whose still more important parts, the reservoir and the pipe, are hidden from view.
Volcanic eruptions are of two types,—effusive eruptions, in which molten rock wells up from below and flows forth in streams of lava (a comprehensive term applied to all kinds of rock emitted from volcanoes in a molten state), and explosive eruptions, in which the rock is blown out in fragments great and small by the expansive force of steam.
Which among the following option is the supporting detail of the volcano eruption?

The supporting detail of the volcano eruption is:
"Volcanic eruptions are of two types,—effusive eruptions, in which molten rock wells up from below and flows forth in streams of lava, and explosive eruptions, in which the rock is blown out in fragments great and small by the expansive force of steam."
This sentence specifically describes the two types of volcanic eruptions, which directly supports the topic of volcanic eruptions discussed in the excerpt.
