Answer:

B.) faulting

Step-by-step explanation:

Transform plate boundaries/faulting. These occur when two plates rub sideways against each other. Fault lines are common locations for earthquake activity, which most frequently happens on the ocean's floor, but is also present on land in several places, including areas along the San Andreas Fault in California.
