    At the hinge zone the the axial plane and limb has angle like 90 degree so it will be maximum.

    then we are comparing with other bedding

    Answer (D) Fold hinge Cleavages are generally parallel to the axial plane of any fold. The angle between the cleavage and bedding should be Highest (around 90°) in the hinge zone. As you will move away from the hinge zone, the angle between bedding and cleavage will decrease continuously. See the attached figure for details.
