Answer:

E. All of these constitute a relationship between earthquakes and plate tectonics.

Explanation:

Earthquakes are common occurrences at plate boundaries  and fault zones and they release seismic waves which are read via a seismograph. They occurs as a result of a sudden slip between plate boundaries. Examples of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries. Countries that a prone to earthquakes include Turkey which falls within the seismic zone between Arabian, Eurasian and African plates, Mexico which is situated atop 3 large tectonic plates, Philippines which lies on the Pacific plate.

This is because they have this connection between the earthquakes and plate tectonics, as there are frequent earthquakes that make the plate tectonics move more often.
