Which seismological risk increases at transform fault plate boundaries with creeping sections?

A)Locked fault zone stress buildup
B)Decreased frequency of major quakes
C)Limited shallow earthquake focal depths
D)Tsunami generation near transform margins

💡 Explanation

Seismic risk rises with build-up of stress because 'creeping' sections buttress against locked zones; therefore, stress accumulates in static fault regions rather than dissipating regularly by aseismic slip, rather than shallow events because of plate interactions.
