Solution

The correct option is B fault.
A fracture in the earth crusts is called fault.
Faults are fractures in Earth's crust where rocks on either side of the crack have slid past each other.
Sometimes the cracks are tiny, as thin as hair, with barely noticeable movement between the rock layers. But faults can also be hundreds of miles long in nature.
