I think it is B. Not sure though, if it isn't A, then it must be B. Please tell me if I am wrong.

Mike will need to go with whatever his text says. I lived in CA for over 62 years, and still everything I read says scientists cannot predict these things. They can tell the fault zones. They can tell where one occurred AFTER it happened. Did you read these from the search Ms. Sue posted for you?

The USGS is the premier entity for anything relating to earthquakes.
