Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A vesicular texture in igneous rocks indicates the presence of many small holes or vesicles, which are typically formed by the escape of gases during the solidification of lava. This texture is characteristic of extrusive igneous rocks, which cool quickly on the Earth's surface, often resulting in a fine-grained texture. Thus, all the given options correctly describe aspects of a vesicular texture in igneous rocks.
