A Correct answer
Explanation

Batholiths are massive igneous rock formations that form when magma cools and solidifies deep underground, representing the cooled portions of large magma chambers. They are the largest intrusive bodies (e.g., Sierra Nevada batholith). Dykes are vertical intrusions, laccoliths are dome-shaped, and phacoliths are concave-convex forms.
