    a. This is a quiet eruption caused by low-viscosity magma.

    I would say this is your answer because Non explosive eruptions are favored by low gas content and low viscosity magmas (basaltic to andesitic magmas). If the viscosity is low, non-explosive eruptions usually begin with fire fountains due to release of dissolved gases.

    sorry if im wrong
