The correct response is **broad base**.
Shield volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping sides and are primarily built up by the flow of low-viscosity basaltic lava, which can travel long distances. They typically do not have steep sides or violent eruptions, which are more common in other types of volcanoes like stratovolcanoes.
