Answer: E. On all plate boundaries and within tectonic plates

Explanation: Earthquakes are usually caused by large scales seismic movements taking place around the earth's crust,this large scale movements lead to shaking of the earth surface with high energy.

Tectonic plates can be Continental(plates on the earth's surface) plates and Oceanic(plates found beneath the Ocean) plates.

Earthquakes usually takes place along the Tectonic plate boundaries and within the boundaries especially on fault lines.
