Answer:

The correct option is B.

B) Anticline, Syncline and Reverse Fault

Step-by-step explanation:

Anticline and Syncline are the terms which are used to describe the folds that occur on a rock. These are up and down folds that occur together and are caused by compressional stress.

Reverse fault is caused by compressional stress which is caused by rocks which are pushing into each other. It is considered as the opposite of Normal fault. In this, the hanging wall and footwall are pushed together, and the hanging wall moves upwards along the fault relative to footwall.
