Explanation:
"There also exist subvolcanic bodies in the form of minor intrusives."

Since "intrusives" and "minor intrusives" are two of the categories by which geologists classified volcanic and subvolcanic material, which presents itself in different FORMS: lava, sedimentary rock, metasedimentary rock, intrusive rock, minor intrusives, etc. These are all forms of volcanic material.

Hope it helps!
