C) transform

Explanation:

The San Andreas fault is a transform fault margin as a result of the Pacific plate moving horizontally with the North American plate.

There  are different types of plate interactions.

  • At a convergent margin, plates comes together.
  • At a divergent margin, plates moves away from one another.
  • At a transform margin, plates moves past one another horizontally.

The San Andreas is one of those margins in which plates moves past one another horizontally. This is a typical transform margin resulting in series of earthquake activities on the surface.
