Scientists placed remote sensors on the ocean floor and studied their motion over several years. These sensors were placed at
points W, X, Y. and Z as shown in the map below.

The thicker red lines represent mid-ocean ridges. The dotted green lines labeled Line 1 and Line 2 separate areas of the ocean
crust that the scientists are studying.
Based on the information given, what data would provide evidence of the existence of a fracture zone?
A. Points Z and W are slowly moving in opposite directions, showing that line 2 is a fracture zone.
B. Points Y and W are slowly moving in the same direction, showing that line 1 is a fracture zone.
OC. Points X and Z are slowly moving in opposite directions, showing that line 1 is a fracture zone.
D. Points X and Y are slowly moving in the same direction, showing that line 2 is a fracture zone.
