The correct answer is d) there are plate boundaries in this region. The Ring of Fire is characterized by intense volcanic and seismic activity, which is due to the presence of numerous tectonic plate boundaries that surround the Pacific Ocean. These boundaries cause magma from the Earth's mantle to reach the surface, resulting in volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
