Answer:

A.

Explanation:

A fault is formed in the Earth's crust as a brittle response to stress. Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this. ... If you whack a hand-sample-sized piece of rock with a hammer, the cracks and breakages you make are faults.
