1. Stress at a transform boundary caused the rock layers to break and tilt
2. Stress caused rock layers to bend, and these layers are a small part of a broad,gentle fold.

Answer:

C and D

C. Stress caused rock layers to bend, and these layers are a small part of a broad gentle fold.

D. Stress caused a fault to form, and these layers dropped down on one side of a fault.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tilts are often caused by faults and folds, so simply the answer is C and D because of the fault that forms and the folds that occur. Faults and folds are the only causes for rock to tilt like that. So as a result the answer again is C and D!

Hope this helps :)

(I also took the quiz and I got it correct)
