Answer:

b) anticline, syncline, and reverse fault

Step-by-step explanation:

Compression helps in squeezing rocks together and leads to folding and fracture in rocks.

Anticline, syncline, and reverse fault are geological structures formed due to compression.

A syncline is a geologic fold in which the younger layers appears closer to the center of the structure, Anticline have so many small compression that developed above thrust faults, and reverse fault is a geological structure in which one side appears taller than the other.

Hence, the correct answer is b.
