Consider the following statements regarding composite volcanoes (stratovolcanoes): 1. Composite volcanoes are characterized by eruptions of low-viscosity basaltic lava that flows over long distances. 2. They are constructed of alternating layers of pyroclastic debris (ash, cinders) and viscous lava flows. 3. Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount Vesuvius in Italy are classic examples of composite volcanoes. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

• A: 1 and 2 only
• B: 1 and 3 only
• C: 1, 2 and 3
• D: 2 and 3 only
