You are presented with the quiz "Where on plates do earthquakes most often occur? " 

But you don't know the answer, so you turn to your teacher to ask for hints. He says that "tectonic plates being pushed together causes earthquakes" and "most of the tectonic activity associated with plate tectonics occurs at or near plate margins". 

So, what's the best answer to the question?
