Answer:

D. All of the above

Explanation:

Pompeii was a city of Ancient Rome located along with Herculaneum and other smaller places in the Campania region, near the modern city of Naples and located around the bay of the same name in the Metropolitan City of Naples. It was buried by the violent eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 AD, although there is evidence to indicate that it may have occurred later in the fall or winter. From the archaeological works carried out in 2018, it could occur on the 24th of October. Many of its inhabitants died due to pyroclastic flow leaving their bodies composed of ash. In its vicinity stands the modern and current city of Pompeii. Due to the thick layers of ash that covered the two cities at the base of the mountain, their exact names and locations ended up forgotten in the collective memory of the new generations. Herculaneum was rediscovered in 1738 casually, and Pompeii ten years later, in 1748 also by chance. Pompeii was under a layer of ash 30 cm in average depth. After the cataclysm, attempts were made to locate the cities without much success.
