Answer 1

The correct feature of most stratovolcanoes is:

steep sides near the top with thick, slow-moving lava

Stratovolcanoes are characterized by their steep profiles and are typically composed of layers of lava flows, ash, and other volcanic debris. They tend to have more explosive eruptions due to the viscosity of the lava, which is often thicker and more resistant to flow.
