Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

According to the law of cross-cutting relationships, in a geological feature where an igneous rock body is intruded by any intrusive body such as a fault and d(i)kes, then the intrusive bodies are considered to be younger than the surrounding igneous rock.

In the given condition, the basalt is the older surrounding rock which is being cut across by a fault, and this follows the principle of cross-cutting relationship.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:    C. Ionic

Explanation:  The transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another means that certain atoms are "amplified" by negative charge, since the electrons are negative, while the other atoms from which the electrons leave become positive. This means that such atoms become negative and positive ions, causing each other to attract opposite charged ions, creating an ionic bond.
