Read the scenario and then answer the question.

Elias is driving through the southwest part of the US on a road trip, and gets out of the car to go hiking. While hiking, he notes a very long channel running for miles in one direction. There are no distinct mountains nearby, and he is very far from the ocean. At lunch, the locals tell him there are lots of earthquakes in the area. He also thinks he sees an old road that used to cross the channel, but looks like it has been shifted apart somehow. He recalls what he learned about plate tectonics in class.

Given these clues, what type of plate boundary could Elias possibly be standing on or near?

transform
divergent
convergent
oceanic-oceanic

Elias could be standing on the transform boundary.

Option 1.

Explanation:

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past one another. At change limits lithosphere is neither made nor devastated. Many change limits are found on the ocean bottom, where they associate fragments of veering mid-sea edges. California's San Andreas issue is a transform boundary.

Transform boundaries are regions where the Earth's plates move past one another, scouring along the edges. Every one of these three sorts of plate limit has its own specific kind of flaw (or break) along which movement happens. Transforms are strike-slip issues. There is no vertical movement—just horizontal.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.

the answer your looking for is c).
