The belly of the Volcano is called
A
Side vent
B
Central vent
C
Magma chamber
D
Conduit
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Magma chambers are subterranean reservoirs containing molten silicate fluid. Some are staging areas for volcanic eruptions, whereas others have no link to Earth’s surface but instead undergo cooling and solidification to form coarse-grained plutons.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -As it falls to Earth, tephra includes rocks such as pumice. 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -A caldera is a depression created after a volcano partially collapses after releasing the majority of its magma chamber in an explosive eruption. 63.
