They are all different forms that magma takes after a volcanic eruption.
Explanation: lava is magma that reaches the surface and flows as molten rock; cinders (scoria) and ash are fragmented pieces of magma (pyroclasts) produced during eruptions. The other choices are incorrect — only lava flows slowly, ash can travel far but lava cannot, and ash/cinders commonly form in explosive eruptions whereas lava is typical of effusive eruptions.
