Answer 2

Answer:

B. Stress caused by forces that stretch an area of the crust made the rock to break

Explanation:

From the picture inserted to this problem, we see a unit that has been severely fractured.

Fracturing results from the brittle deformation of a rock under applied stress.

• Rock fracturing results in the formation of joints and faults.
• We can obviously see different sets of joint sets on the body of the rock in the picture attacked.
• Also, a prominent fault which resembles an extensional fault can also be seen.
• Therefore, the stress caused the stretch of the area which in turn makes the rock the rock to break.
