I apologize for any confusion. The correct answer is:
B: Plate boundaries occur between tectonic plates while faults can occur anywhere.
Plate boundaries are locations where tectonic plates interact, such as divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. Faults, on the other hand, are fractures or breaks in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved past each other. Faults can occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries.
