Sylvia is designing a new shopping center to be built near a transform boundary. Aware of the dangers of geologic activity along a transform boundary, what would be the best safety feature for Sylvia's design? Buildings with heat-resistant exteriors that can withstand high temperatures from erupting volcanoes. Shorter buildings designed with some flexibility, enabling them to move without falling apart during an earthquake. Taller buildings that are made of very rigid steel beams that are strong enough to withstand the effects of an earthquake. Taller buildings with very deep foundations that go past the transform boundary's depth, anchoring them in the event of an earthquake.

Since the plates are sliding along one another transform boundaries don't have volcanoes but small earthquakes so:

Shorter buildings designed with some flexibility, enabling them to move without falling apart during an earthquake.
