Hint:

Which of these countries, is most earthquake prone ?

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Both Japan and New Zealand are highly earthquake-prone as they lie on the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, Japan (3) sits at a more complex junction of tectonic plates, leading to exceptionally high seismic activity, making it generally considered the most earthquake-prone among the options. Rejecting Options: (1) New Zealand is very prone, but generally less so than Japan. (2) Australia is relatively stable tectonically.
