Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Japan experiences frequent earthquakes because it is located on the meeting point of two plates of the earth's crust. Tokyo is situated where multiple plates of the earth's crust meet. When enough pressure builds up, the plates move. That's an earthquake. Japan is located right on an active subduction zone of the coast.
