Answer:

B) The surface layer of permafrost thaws in summer.

Explanation:

Permafrost is frozen ground or frozen soil. It is a landform in which the ground  remains frozen for over a long period of time usually more than two years. Permafrosts are usually found in high latitude regions. For a permafrost to form, the temperature must remain considerably below freezing point.

The surface layer of a permafrost is bounded by the permafrost table and below it lies the active layer. During summer when temperature rises above freezing point, this layer thaws. In winter times, the surface layer remains frozen.

<span>Slab pull” is a type of tectonic plate movement that occurs due to the forces of mantle convection and results in the subduction of the lithosphere, causing earthquakes. Slab pulls are actually portions of the motions of a tectonic plate that accounts for its subduction. The motion of these plates are driven by weight of cold and denser plates that sink at trenches towards the mantle of the Earth. </span>
