Answer:

The elastic-rebound theory explain the occurrence of earthquakes in b. When bending rocks fail, stress energy is released in the form of earthquakes.

Explanation:

The energy released as earthquakes result from when bending rocks fail and there is a rupture from the fault line. Because earthquakes are sudden movements from ruptures, the answer a is not correct. c. is also not correct because it is not the surrounding crust that vibrates but the crust is divided between two moving plates. d is also not correct because the opposite rocks are under sheer stress and the energy released is a stress energy, not a tension energy.
