Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The law of Superposition was introduced by Nicolas Steno in the 17th century. According to this law, in an undisturbed sedimentary rock layers or sequence, the rocks that are found at its base are the oldest rocks and the rocks that are found at the apex indicates the youngest rocks.

In nature, all sedimentary sequences do not satisfy this principle, because sometimes, some sedimentary sequences are affected by several factors such as the plate tectonic activity, earthquake, and faulting.

The Steno's principles were a huge contribution to the field of geology.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Greenhouse gases are gases that are capable to of absorbing infrared radiations that are emitted from the Earth's surface and reradiating back to the Earth which contributed to the greenhouse effects. Examples of greenhouse gases are carbondioxide, methane and water vapour. Others are ozones, flourinated gases, nitrous oxides e.t.c.

The green house gases has lead to climate changes in the Earth by trapping heat, the contribute to respiratory diseases by smog and air pollution. Greenhouse gases concentrations are high during warm seasons and low during cold seasons.

Only plant cells have cell walls. Bacteria cells and animal cells do not. Both animal cells and plant cells have membrane-bound organelles, but since the student saw a cell wall, it must be a plant cell.

Hope this helps! :)
