Answer: D
Notes:

Explanation – Primordial magma refers to the molten material that existed during the early stages of a celestial body’s formation, such as Earth or other planets. This magma formed when the body was still hot and partially or fully molten, often resulting in a global magma ocean before cooling and solidifying into layers like the crust and mantle.
