Why do earthquakes occur at plate boundaries?

AThe earth's surface absorbs energy, and earthquakes occur when the energy is released violently.
BFriction between plates creates tension, and earthquakes occur when the tension is released.
CConvection currents cause earthquakes when they release energy to the earth's crust.
DOceanic currents cause earthquakes at plate boundaries when they lose heat.

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is letter b. The main reason why earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because it is in there where most faults are located. Another is that when these plates move it creates friction between these plates creating tensions, and when tensions are releases, it is when earthquakes can be felt.
