Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the earth that occurs due to the release of energy during the seismic wave propagation through the interior of the earth. The point from which the earthquake arises is termed as the focus. The focus of an earthquake is also considered as the hypocenter. And the point that is directly above the focus (hypocenter) is known as the epicenter.

Similarly, this focus and the epicenter also occurs in a region where there is a presence of a fault, that results in earthquakes of various magnitudes. This means that the point that is directly above the start of the fault slippage is also known as the epicenter.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
