Answer:

Normal faults are possible in -

3 . O-O Divergent

5 . C-C Divergent

Explanation:

A Fault , in geology represents a planar fracture in a rock , there can be large faults , which are formed by the action of the tectonic forces , even the rapid movement of these tectonic plates on any active fault can lead to an earthquake .

In a normal fault , the hanging wall moves in downward direction with respect to the footwall .

Normal faults are usually associated with tensional zones at divergent plate boundaries that is at places where two plates move away from each other .
