Solution

The answer is A. Movement of plates. This is because earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates move, they can cause the ground to shake, which is what we feel during an earthquake. The other options (B, C, and D) are related to disaster management and recovery, not the causes of earthquakes.
