    1. throws water continuously
    2. throws water intermittently
    3. throws water and steam at regular intervals
    4. throws only steam
Correct Option: C

A geyser is a spring characterized by intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by a vapour phase (steam). The word geyser comes from Geysir, the name of an erupting spring at Haukadalur, Iceland; that name, in turn, comes from the Icelandic verb geysa, “to gush”, the verb itself from Old Norse.
