The correct response regarding the features of most stratovolcanoes is:
steep sides near the top with thick, slow-moving lava
Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, typically have steep profiles and are characterized by explosive eruptions due to their viscous lava, which is often andesitic in composition.
