Correct Answer: Recumbent folds


Solution : The correct answer is Recumbent folds.

Recumbent folds can be characterised as extreme forms of inverted folds where the axial plane becomes nearly horizontal. In these folds, one limb precisely rests beneath the other, allowing a drill hole made in the top limb to penetrate through the lower limb as well.
