fault's

The flaw belongs

Fault's is the possessive form of fault, indicating something belonging to or associated with a fault.

A fault is a defect, mistake, or responsibility for error: It wasn't the system's fault.

In geology, a fault is a fracture in rock where displacement has occurred: the fault's movement triggered the earthquake.

The possessive appears in phrases attributing cause or ownership: That's nobody's fault but your own.
