The given answer is correct i.e. Hypabyssal rock.
Rocks formed from magma cooling at relatively shallow depths are called hypabyssal rocks (also known as subvolcanic rocks).

Cooling of magma = plutonic rock.
Pouring of magma = volcanic rock.

Extrusive igneous rocks, also known as volcanic rocks, are formed at the crust's surface as a result of the partial melting of rocks within the mantle and crust. Extrusive igneous rocks cool and solidify quicker than intrusive igneous rocks. They are formed by the cooling of molten magma on the earth's surface.

Yes, at shallow depth (>2km) it's hypabyssal rock. And at greater depth it's plutonic rock.
