Answer: A. Faulting

Step-by-step explanation:

Faulting occurs when rocks are displaced as a result of either compressional or tensional tectonic pressure.

This creates a fracture in the earth's crust. These fractures are known as Faults and have varying lengths as some can be so short that they are measured in centimeters while others go on for miles. Faults are responsible for the creation of many other land forms such as mountains.
