The rocks made from the cooling and solidifying of molten rock (magma) are called igneous rocks and the two categories of igneous rocks - are volcanic and plutonic rocks.
Volcanic rocks are found on the earth's surface whereas plutonic rocks are found at a considerable depth from the earth's surface.
Volcanic rocks are found on the earth's surface whereas plutonic rocks are found at a considerable depth from the earth's surface.

Plutonic -> Considerable depth.
Hypabassal -> shallow.
Volcanic -> Surface.
Hypabassal -> shallow.
Volcanic -> Surface.

Plutonic rock is also a part of igneous rock. Then, why the igneous rock is not a considerable answer.

Plutonic rocks are formed by the cooling of magma at considerable depths from the earth's surface. These rocks are also known as intrusive rocks because they intrude into the existing rock formations. Plutonic rocks are different from volcanic rocks, which are formed due to the cooling of lava on the earth's surface.

Plutonic rocks are coarse-grained crystalline igneous rocks formed by consolidation of molten rock material or magma below the Earth's surface (Latin Pluto, god of the Underworld).

Igneous rocks: the result of solidification of molten mass(magma) laying below or above the earth surface.
Igneous rocks are classified as,
I) Plutonic -cooling of magma at a considerable depth from earth's surface.
II) Hypabyssal - cooling of magma at shallow depth from earth's surface.
III) Valcanic- cooling of magma at the surface of the earth.

In geology, a pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock (called a plutonic rock) that is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth. Plutons include batholiths, stocks, dikes, sills, laccoliths, lopoliths, and other igneous formations.

Cooling of magma formed igneous rock. So I think answer D is correct.

Volcanic is correct answer.

Igneous rock are of three types.
Plutonic: crystallization of magma at great depth, more than 35 m from earth's surface.
Hypabasal : at lower depth about 30m.
Volcanic: on or very less depth of earth's surface.
