Explanation:

A syncline is a fold in which the youngest rock layers are at the center of the fold. An anticline is a fold with the oldest rock layers at the center. A strike - slip fault has horizontal movement along the fault plane, and a dip - slip fault has vertical movement along the fault plane. The image shows horizontal movement along a fault plane, which is characteristic of a strike - slip fault.
