Which increases along faults and leads to rock breaking?

A) damage

B) earthquake

C) focus

D) stress

The correct option is (D) Stress

Explanation:

Stress is referred to the elasticity and in the same sense as stress increases the elasticity increases and a time comes when the limit is reached and the object is broken. Similarly the stress between the faults increases and then a time comes when the elasticity limit is reached and the rocks get broken. A sudden release of stress in the lithosphere causes an earthquake

d) stress
