Here's why:
* Dikes are tabular, discordant (cutting across layers) intrusions of igneous rock. They form when magma is forced into existing fractures, often due to pressure from a larger magma chamber.
* Sills are also tabular intrusions, but they are concordant, meaning they run parallel to the existing rock layers.
* Laccoliths are dome-shaped intrusions that form when magma pushes upwards, creating a bulge in the overlying rock layers.
* Batholiths are massive, irregularly shaped intrusions that cover large areas and often form the core of mountain ranges.
Therefore, the correct answer is dike.
