The seismic gap theory suggests that a future earthquake is more likely along
Answer: B
Correct answer: a segment of an active fault that has not slipped recently
The reasoning is that strain accumulates steadily along an active fault, so a segment that has stayed quiet while its neighbours have ruptured has been storing strain for longer and is closer to failure. It is a statement about relative likelihood over decades, not a prediction of date, and a segment that has just ruptured is the least likely to fail again soon.
