The active sections that are located along fault lines are called



A. stress accumulations.
B. recurrence gaps.
C. seismic gaps.
D. seismic risks.

I think its C

I agree.

The answer is C. seismic gaps.

To determine the answer, you would need to have basic knowledge about fault lines and their characteristics. Fault lines are areas where two tectonic plates meet and there is a potential for earthquakes to occur. Along fault lines, stress accumulates as the plates interact, and occasionally this stress is released through earthquakes. However, not all sections of fault lines release stress at the same rate. Some sections may remain locked and accumulate stress over time, while others release stress more frequently.

These locked, or "active," sections that have not experienced significant seismic activity for an extended period of time are known as seismic gaps. They represent areas of increased seismic risk since the accumulated stress has the potential to be released in a future earthquake. Therefore, the correct answer is C. seismic gaps.
