The correct option is B faulting
The East African Rift Valley, as the region
is known, formed as the result of the faulting process where the Somalian and
Nubian plates are pulling away from the Arabian Plate. The eastern branch of
the rift passes through Ethiopia as well as Kenya. And its western branch forms
a giant arc from Uganda to Malawi.
So the above information shows that the great
rift valley of East Africa is a notable example for the process of faulting.
Thus correct option is B. Other options are not suitable.
