Answer: C
The feature not associated with strike-slip faults is the hogback.
A hogback is a sharp ridge formed by differential erosion of a steeply dipping resistant bed, a product of tilted strata rather than of horizontal fault movement.
The other three are typical of active strike-slip faults. Beheaded valleys are stream valleys cut off and offset by fault movement. Sag ponds fill depressions formed where the fault zone pulls apart slightly. Shutter ridges are ridges moved along the fault so that they block or 'shutter' the valleys they come to face.
