Answer: A. brittle deformation; cold.

Explanation: The Earth's crust is more brittle towards the surface as a result of cooling. Temperature changes can lead to rock expansion and contraction this continuous expansion and contraction will subsequently lead to fracturing or brittle deformation.

The outcome of brittle deformation in rocks is synonymous to that of broken plates i.e. fractures.
