<h2>Answer:</h2>

The earthquake beginning is at <u>A) Hypocenter</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The area inside the Earth, which acts as the source of origin of earth quake is called as center (or hypocenter) of the seismic tremor. The point at Earth's surface straightforwardly above the hypocenter is known as the focal point of the quake.

The shaking will be experienced more at this region as it is the source of the origin. Here and there the ground surface breaks along the fault. Once in a while, the development is profound underground and the surface doesn't break.
