Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The explosive series of eruptions described in the statement is a clear reference to the volcanic activity that occurred in the island of Santorini (also known as Thera) in Greece, around 1628 BCE. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C. The other options - Vesuvius, Krakatoa, and Mt. Pele - all refer to different volcanoes located in Italy, Indonesia, and Martinique, respectively, and are not related to the Aegean Sea or the Bronze Age city of Akrotiri.
