Answer 1

Faults are associated with plates sliding past each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. faults. Faults are associated with plates sliding past each other. A fault is a crack in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred. Rifts (option a) are associated with plates moving away from each other, and subduction zones (option b) are associated with plates colliding and one plate sinking beneath the other.
