Answer:

(C) transform boundary.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The San Andrea fault is a transform boundary that is located in California and is a megathrust zone of high earthquake activity as the plates move in forward and backward direction to each other and thus the region has a very shallow epicenter. Has a Dextral motion, rate of movement s 1.5 inches in a year.
