    Regional structure means anything like fold or unconformity. Strike of fold (regional structure) means strike of fold limbs. Please refer to the attached diagram for clear understanding of transverse fault.

    Transverse will be most appropriate answer because reference is directly to regional context.

    Dip fault can not be the answer because in case of dip fault the strike of bed is perpendicular to the fault strike. Here in question the term "strike of regional structure" is used. Regional structure strike is not same as the bedding strike. If the strike of fault plane will be perpendicular to strike of regional structure then that will be a transverse fault.

    Regional structure means anything like fold or unconformity. Strike of fold (regional structure) means strike of fold limbs. Please refer to the attached diagram for clear understanding of transverse fault.
