First off, let's look into how an earthquake happens:
As the plate move apart or collide given the convection current of magma, stress is built up with continuous plate movements. The pressure is then greater than the elastic strength of the rock. Rock breaks, the pressure of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Ground vibrates, resulting in earthquake.
How it provide evidence about the layers of Earth, is that the lower the layer, the hotter it is, which then cause the convection current of magma to happen,hence affecting the lithosphere.

We should care about the earth every day, not just on a singular day. though it is a great thing to celebrate! the earth has given us so much and we should be more thankful and take better care of everything.
The answer is c. on the earth’s surface directly above the initial release of seismic energy.
The definition of an epicentre: the point on the earth's surface directly above the origin of an earthquake (Cambridge Dictionary)
In Geology, we said that it is directly above the focus, which is the initial release of seismic energy mentioned in the above sentence.
As the other options do not have the correct location (e.g. within the Earth's surface, beneath the focus).
Therefore, the answer is c. on the earth’s surface directly above the initial release of seismic energy.

Unidirectional change results in transformations that never repeat, whereas cyclical change involves repetition of the same steps over and over again.</span>
