Correct Answer: Hawai


Solution : The correct answer is Hawaii.

Mount Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano in the world and it is situated in Hawaii Island. Hawaii has high volcanic activity because it is on a volcanic hotspot. Hotspots are points from where lava from the mantle breaks the tectonic plates and erupts. Because of the movement of Pacific plate above the hotspot there is a chain of mountain ranges formed which are of volcanic origin.
