Answer:

The correct answer is E. A fault is best described as fractured rock that has been displaced.

Explanation:

Transforming faults are lithospheric plate limits where there is neither subduction nor creation of lithosphere. They are located on the edge of tectonic plates and cut the ridges perpendicularly. The borders near this type of fault are geologically active (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.).

The most famous transforming fault is that of San Andreas. It is in fact a set of transforming faults which ensures the sliding of the Pacific plate against the North American plate.
