Details:

There are no evidence for cryovolcanism on this comet. What we have observed is that comets behave like comets. Gas, ice-particles and dust are released from the surface and from inside through vents, caused by the sun's heat. (Outbursts)
It has been confirmed by at least 5 close-ups pictures of different comets .

Cryovolcanism occurs on larger moons and has an internal heat source (Radioactivity or Gravitational friction).
