The false option among the given options is:

A. Earthquakes cannot occur along transform plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. Earthquakes at transform faults tend to occur at shallow depths and also form fairly straight linear patterns. Since we know that sliding of plates can go wrong and it can create earthquakes so the same applies on transform plates too.
