Is the ring of fire geologically stable?
Assuming you mean the Pacific one, the "Ring of Fire" is a string of underwater trenches and volcanoes, hence the name. An estimated 90% of all earthquakes occur along it. While the area can be dormant for some periods of time, the entire area is "geologically unstable" in comparison to the rest of the world.
Are the Continental shields and stable platforms are part of the interior region known as a craton?
Yes.
