Please select the best answer from the choices provided

That's because one of the engineering achievements in dealing with earthquakes is to "separate" the building (or structure) from the horizontal components of the ground movement by interposing a layer with low horizontal rigidity between the structure and the foundation, resulting in interposition of a deformable layer, reducing the frequency of vibration itself, thus helping to deal with earthquakes.
