It is difficult to accurately determine which explanation would not be accurate without the map provided. However, based on the information given, the explanation that is least likely to be accurate is "Volcanic activity must be present in the blue area of the map." This is because volcanic activity is typically associated with the formation of igneous rocks, which are not typically depicted as blue on a map. Blue usually represents bodies of water or other features unrelated to volcanic activity. Therefore, it is unlikely that volcanic activity would be present in the blue area of the map.
