shearing
syncline
tension
compression

Answer:

I believe the answer is.   shearing

Explanation

might be wrong though

anthougo

The type of stress that most likely occurs at this transform boundary is A. shearing.

Shear stress is always experienced at transform boundaries because two plates, like the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, slide past each other.

Thus, the stress experienced at San Andreas Fault is not syncline, tension, or compression stress, but shear stress since San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary.
