The san andreas tectonic feature in southern california is an example of a
a. convergent plate boundary
b. mid-plate hot spot
c. divergent plate boundary
d. sub-bituminous plate fault
e. transform fault

e. Transform fault

Explanation:

The San Andreas tectonic feature is of transform fault type. This basically means that we have in question a fault that has been formed at or near a transform plate boundary. In this case, it is the transform plate boundary between the North American tectonic plate and the Juan de Fuca tectnic plate. It has to be noticed though that Juan de Fuca is actually not a single plate anymore, but instead it has cracked into three smaller parts, with the part being nearby San Andreas making a transform plate boundary with the North American plate. In this type of boundary, the plates slide past each other, but they still manage to create a lot of tension around the boundary, resulting in cracks in the crust, or rather faults. The faults are parallel with the boundary, and can vary a lot in width and depth, and one of the best examples in the world for this type of fault is San Andreas in California.
