Answer:

B. along tectonic plate boundaries

Step-by-step explanation:

When deep lithosphere pressure forces the earth's surface to buckle, bend, and break apart, catastrophic processes such as folding and faulting occur. When two tectonic plates contact, the crust rises up in folds during or after the earthquake, resulting in folding. As a result, solution B is correct. It's found when tectonic plates collide.
