<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>D. Shear stress</u> results when two plates slide past one another.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The two slide plate pass each other at the transform boundary. This shearing causes transform fault which may sometimes occur in fractured zones with different offsets or in deep-sea trenches in the subduction zone.

According to some research, the plate pull increases the concentration of shear stress creating a strike-slip fault and earthquakes on the transform fault. They are found in the deep ocean on the divergent boundary or on the margins of the plate tectonics on land margins. On land margins, the earthquake is the most destructive.
