Pelean
The eruption of Mount Mazama that formed Crater Lake was a caldera forming eruption. This is the most violent type of volcanic eruption.
Both the Pelean and Plinian eruptions are violent, and the Plinian (such as Vesuvius) are the most spectacular type. More specifically, there is a designation "ultra-Plinian" to describe highly explosive eruptions such as Kratatoa. The type of eruption that is most violent is when lava, ash and other materials are hurled into the air.
The most violent type of volcanic eruption among those listed is the Plinian eruption. Plinian eruptions are characterized by high eruption columns, massive ash plumes, and volcanic explosivity index values of 4 or 5. These eruptions are named after Pliny the Younger, who described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

A vulcanologist is most likely to study the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption
The Krakatoa eruption in 1883 was a Plinian eruption, which is a highly explosive volcanic event characterized by the eruption of vast amounts of ash and volcanic material into the atmosphere. The eruption of Krakatoa was one of the most powerful volcanic explosions in recorded history.
The Yellowstone Caldera was formed by an Ultra Plinian eruption. Ultra Plinian is the most violent type of volcanic eruption with enormous columns of ash and gas shooting twenty or more miles into the sky and releasing many cubic kilometers of ash.

A Shield Cone Volcano
Mount Tambora is known for having a Plinian-type explosivity, characterized by its violent and highly explosive eruptions that can produce large amounts of volcanic ash, gases, and pyroclastic flows. This type of explosivity is one of the most powerful and destructive volcanic eruption styles.
