    at a transform boundary

    Explanation:

    Shearing occur mostly in the at the edges of plates, along a transform boundary, where two plates basically slide side by side (lateral movement), like lanes in a highway.

    The shearing is the friction between the two plates and mostly occur 10-20 kilometers beneath the ground level and is mostly not perceptible on the Earth's surface itself.

    The right option is; at a transform boundary

    Explanation:

    Shearing often occur at a transform boundary. A transform boundary is a place where two of the tectonic plates slide sideways past each other. Shearing is the lateral distinct motion of two rock surfaces against each other. The motion is usually caused by intense pressure under the earth's crust and it affects the rocks, making their shapes to change as they slide against each other
