Island A is the oldest because it is farthest from the hot spot.
In the context of islands formed from volcanic activity, such as those in a hotspot, the age of the islands generally increases with distance from the hotspot. The islands closest to the hotspot are the youngest, as they are currently being formed from volcanic activity, while those farther away have had more time to erode and have formed earlier.
