    The correct answer to the question is

    Right lateral fault

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Strike-slip faults are vertically inclined tectonics fractures where the blocks are horizontally displaced. The slip style is determined by the direction the block moves in relation to an observer looking across it.

    A right lateral slip style fault occurs where the block moves to the right in relation to an observer looking across it. Where the block shifts to left of the observer, it is known as left lateral
