Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
A geyser is a spring characterized by intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by a vapour phase (steam).
The word geyser comes from Geysir, the name of an erupting spring at Haukadalur, Iceland; that name, in turn, comes from the Icelandic verb geysa, “to gush”, the verb itself from Old Norse.
