+1 for A.
(A) to which tectonic plates have been shifted --> Correct, rectifies idiom error, and conveys intended meaning that "tectonic plates have been shifted by earthquake"
(B) to which tectonic plates have shifted --> Changes meaning
(C) of the shift of tectonic places
(D) of tectonic plate shifting
(E) that tectonic plates have been shifted
Hence, A.

A. have been should be followed by a time reference , which is missing in A + not so keen on usage of "shifted"
B conveys the correct meaning
B for me
