Answer 1

The correct feature 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 thick and can lead to the buildup of pressure before an eruption.
