    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The intensity of earthquakes is measured on Richter scale. The Richter scale was developed in the 1930s and is most effective for large-scale earthquakes that are of moderate intensity. The Richter scale measures the maximum amplitude of seismic waves as they reach seismographs.
