Final answer:

Faults are associated with plates sliding past each other.


Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. faults.

Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved horizontally. These movements are associated with plates sliding past each other.

Rifts are associated with plates moving away from each other, and subduction zones are associated with plates colliding and one plate sinking beneath the other.
