    Solution

    Explanation: - Tectonic earthquakes (caused by the movement of tectonic plates) are the most severe and common type of earthquakes. - Volcanic earthquakes (caused by volcanic activity) can also be very destructive, but they are localized. - Plutonic earthquakes occur deep inside the Earth's crust and are usually less destructive at the surface. Since both tectonic and volcanic earthquakes can be disastrous, the correct answer is (D) More than one of the above.
