Faults are generally closely associated with

A. monoclines.

B. anticlines.

C. synclines.

D. symmetrical folds.

Hello, the answer would be A - monoclines.

It is better to explain the definition in the options. Firstly, fault is formed as a result of rock movements.

Monocline is a bend in rock stratum.

Anticline is an arch-like parts of the rocks.

Syncline is a downward part of the rock which resembles sine wave.

Symmetrical folds happen when one of the axial planes is inclined and vertical.

Monocline and faults are connected in definition for the rock formation. Other definitions just show the shape and the parts of the formation. Monocline is the correct answer.
