Answer: Option (3)

Explanation: In the given image, the plate boundary that is being shown is a transform plate boundary, in which the two plates are moving, slide passing one another. Here neither plate destroys nor creates. For example, The San Andres fault.

The areas that are included in this transform plate boundary are very prone to earthquakes and tsunamis. Earthquake generates when the plates rubs one another, releasing energy that causes seismic waves to propagates. This causes an earthquake of varying intensity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
