Answer:

Option (d)

Compression is the force that is present at a convergent boundary.

Explanation:

Stress is any external force that acts on the rock leading to either it’s deformation or Reformation. Compression is a type of stress that acts towards the centre of a rock and is present at a convergent boundary.

Horizontal compression may lead to a break in the crust of the earth which is known as thrust faulting whereas vertical compression may lead to a normal fault.
