Yes, slip plane is also correct.

As per my knowledge, Slip plane is the right answer.

please explain the answer in detail.

Failure of finite slopes occurs along a curved surface. In stability computation, the curve is represented by an arc of a circle or logarithmic scale.

I think it's slip surface, there is some limitations when we say curved surface. All curved surfaces are not slope failure surfaces.

Why not a slip surface?
