    The correct option is (B) Downfolds are called synclines.

    Explanation:

    There are three basic types of folds (1) anticlines, (2) sync-lines and (3) monocline. Among these folds Sync-lines are formed when rocks are compressed by plate-tectonic forces. They can be as small as the side of a cliff or as large as an entire valley. Sync-lines are the folds of rock layers that slope downward on both sides of a common crest. So option B is the correct option.
