**Question 6**

In the image above, two parallelograms (labeled A and B) represent parts of the landscape (blocks) on either side of a fault.

- **Description**: The diagram shows block A on the left, colored in orange, and block B on the right, colored in blue. Both blocks are separated by a black line labeled "Fault." There is a green horizontal layer intersecting both blocks.

The question is: Which one would be the hanging wall block?

**Options**:

- There is not enough information provided to determine which is the hanging wall block
- B
- A
- Neither
