rewatch

Explanation:

The elastic rebound theory explains the build - up and release of energy in rocks during earthquakes. The first option is incorrect as it mentions landslides, not earthquakes. The second option is wrong because the theory is not about why rocks are elastic. The fourth option is incorrect as it misinterprets the theory's focus. The third option correctly states that the elastic rebound theory explains how energy is stored in rocks and released by earthquakes.

Answer:

C. How energy is stored in rocks and released by earthquakes. (Note: Assuming the third option is labeled as C. If the original options had different labels, adjust the label accordingly based on the actual option numbering. Here, we assume the third option is the correct one and label it as C for clarity.)
