Choice D is the best answer. In lines 61-64("It's ...impacts"), the author cites geochemist Gifford Miller's findings that provide evidence that the medieval volcanic eruption most likely occurred in Indonesia near the equator: "It's not a total surprise that an Indonesian volcano might be the source of the eruption, Miller says. 'An equatorial eruption is more consistent with the apparent cli-mate impacts.'"
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide evidence that the medieval volcanic eruption most likely occurred in Indonesia near the equator. Rather, choices A, B, and C focus on the medieval volcano's power, impact, and magnitude.
