      Answer: The correct answer is Option B. Elastic rebound theory. Elastic rebound theory describes the release of energy during an earthquake. According to this theory, rocks on either side of a fault are deformed elastically until their strength is exceeded, and then they “rebound” to their undeformed state, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. Plate tectonics theory explains the movement and interaction of tectonic plates, whereas seismograph theory explains the functioning of seismographs. Seismic wave theory explains the propagation of seismic waves. Explanation: Elastic rebound theory explains the release of energy during an earthquake due to the elastic deformation of rocks. Plate tectonics theory explains the movement and interaction of tectonic plates, whereas seismograph theory explains the functioning of seismographs. Seismic wave theory explains the propagation of seismic waves.
