all the given options are synonymous to 'extinct' but 'inactive' fits in best for d used context as in VOLCANOES thanks!
The selected answer is wrong:
The correct synonym is extinguished not in active. You can confirm it online
REF: Www.thesaurus.com
For a volcano to be extinct it means that ,it hasn't erupted in human history which is same as inactive
synonyms: vanished, lost, died out, dead, defunct, no longer existing, no longer extant, wiped out, destroyed, exterminated, gone
Some of the options are synonymous to *extinct. But the word that's nearest in meaning is is inactive...because to extinguish means to put inactive
The correct answer is:
**C. dead**
In this context, "extinct" refers to a volcano that is no longer active and has no possibility of erupting again, which is best matched by "dead."
