Which of these statements best explains why the soil around a volcanic region is fertile? Volcanoes aid in the formation of new rocks, which help form fertile soil. Volcanoes always contribute to flooding, which enriches the soil. Particles released by volcanoes contain sulfur, which is good for soil. Particles released in the air by volcanoes fall to the ground and enrich the soil.

Sulfur is an essential macronutrient needed in plant growth. Volcanoes tend to release small amounts of sulfur into the air. Probably: "Particles released by volcanoes contain sulfur, which is good for soil." or "Particles released in the air by volcanoes fall to the ground and enrich the soil." It is most likely the latter one because this sulfur is released in a gas, therefore it would fall to the ground and enrich the soil.
