A Correct answer
Explanation

A large body of magmatic material that cools in the deeper depth of the crust develops in the form of large domes. They appear on the surface only after the denudational processes remove the overlying materials. They cover large areas, and at times assume depth that may be several km. These are granitic bodies. Batholiths are the cooled portion of magma chambers.
