B. Strike-slip fault
"The San Andreas fault is a transform or strike-slip fault that moves sideways, rather than the more common faults that move up on one side and down on the other. ..."

the San Andreas fault is a strike -slip fault
(transform fault). meaning that the edges of the plates are jagged and jam together until they move suddenly in one sharp jerk. this occurred in 1906 in California. near San Francisco the plate edges moved horizontally.
