Answer: B.

Explanation:

It's not A, because earthquakes happen at different magnitudes depending on how the plates shift beneath them.

It's not C, because tectonic plates are scattered among the earth.

It's not D, since the pattern of earthquakes are dependent on the shifts of tectonic plates.

It's B because tectonic plates are the reason earthquakes happen. Everytime they shift or move, an earthquake occurs. There may be some earthquakes that are not near tectonic plates but the majority are, which is why the question uses the word "generally occur."
