Folding and faulting characteristics: Strain Rate?

Here is a question I just can't quite figure out:

Which of the following conditions favors the folding of rocks rather than the faulting of
rocks?

A. Slow accumulation of compressive stress
B. Rapid accumulation of compressive stress
C. Slow accumulation of tensional stress
D. Rapid accumulation of tensional stress

I would very much appreciate any and all help. Thanks!
