Answer:

The stress is A) Compression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect of pressure decides the sort of fault that structures and it is classified into the following types:

  • Compression
  • Tension
  • Shear

Conveniently, these three faculties of stress likewise relate with the three sorts of plate limits.

  • Compressive pressure occurs at concurrent plate limits where two plates advance or push toward one another.
  • Tensional pressure occurs at different plate limits where "two plates are moving" endlessly from one another.
  • Shear pressure is experienced at change limits where "two plates are sliding" past one another.
