Inside a volcano, magma collects in a pocket or room called a
A
pipe
B
magma chamber
C
caldera
D
vent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magma Chamber In areas where temperature, pressure, and structural formation allow, magma can collect in magma chambers. Most magma chambers sit far beneath the surface of the Earth. The pool of magma in a magma chamber is layered. The least-dense magma rises to the top.

Detailed explanation-2: -The location beneath the vent of a volcano where molten rock (magma) is stored prior to eruption. Also known as a magma storage zone or magma reservoir.

Detailed explanation-3: -A magma chamber is a partially or totally molten body located in the crust and supplied with magma from a deeper source, a reservoir.

Detailed explanation-4: -A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock, or magma, in such a chamber is less dense than the surrounding country rock, which produces buoyant forces on the magma that tend to drive it upwards.

Detailed explanation-5: -The magma rises and collects in chambers within the crust. As magma fills the chamber, pressure grows. If the pressure gets high enough, the magma can break through the crust and spew out in a volcanic eruption. Most explosive volcanoes occur above subduction zones.
