Neither. It is a volcano that famously erupted in 2010. The eruption produced pyroclastic flows.
The pyroclastic flow from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 traveled up to 5 km from the volcano, covering an area of about 65 square kilometers. The flow was relatively small compared to some volcanic eruptions but still caused significant disruption.
The pyroclastic flow from the volcano devastated the surrounding area, burying everything in its path under a blanket of ash and hot gases.
A pyroclastic flow moves away from a volcano in all directions.
The given options are not all intrusive igneous bodies. A batholith is an intrusive igneous body formed deep within the Earth's crust, while pyroclastic flows, lava flows, and lahars are volcanic hazards associated with volcanic eruptions.
A lahar is a mudflow that forms from water mixing with volcanic material, primarily ash. A nuee ardente, more commonly known as a pyroclastic flow, is a superheated, fast-moving body of ash, rock, and gas that moves down the sides of a volcano as a direct result of an explosive eruption.
A lahar is a mudflow that results from water mixing with volcanic ash. They can be hot or cold.A pyroclastic flow is a flow of superheatd ash, rock and gas that moves down the side of a volcano and is much hotter than a lahar. This material is ejected directly from a volcano.

No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.

What usually causes the most damage is the pyroclastic debris and the ash. The ash isn't normal fire ash (tephra) more than 10 cm of volcanic ash can collapse a building. The next most devastating factor is the pyroclastic flow (lahar), gases through fumaroles and lastly the lava is least devastating. (Anyone can out run a lava flow... backwards)
A lahar is basically a mudslide that has debris within its flow. Effects of a lahar include your home being destroyed, trees and other vegetation being destroyed, and the loss of people.
