Answer: B. Original Continuity

Explanation:

Original continuity is the concept that sediments are deposited horizontally at the original point of formation. This lateral deposit continues, layer by layer unless the sediments are interrupted by a barrier.

The two rocks on the opposite sides of the canyon were likely one body of rock due to their similar lithology and fossil content. It is likely that the canyon formed due to erosion over time, thereby creating a barrier between the rocks.
