Transform fault form perpendicular to the ridges of the mid-ocean when the tectonic plates continue to slide horizontally by passing to and from each other.
Tectonic plates are the deposition of the layer of the earth, which are believed to be sliding by the passage of time since about 3.4 billion years.
The movement and slide of tectonic plates is considered as per the generally accepted scientific theories, which also denotes that as the plates slide, a transform fault is produced.
The transform faults thus produced are perpendicular to the ridges of the mid-ocean, as the movements of the tectonic plates past each other is in a horizontal direction.
Hence, option C; transform faults are formed perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridges while the tectonic plates slide horizontal past each other.
