Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust and the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
  • Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust. Together with upper mantle, it is called the lithosphere.
  • Earthquakes are caused due to the shift of the tectonic plates present on the crust of the earth.
  • So, the correct answer is 'The shift of the tectonic plates present on the earth crust'.
