Context/details:
The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery. In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.
After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred. The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.

Answer:
The intrusion of I1 or I2 is the youngest event. Without more information, we cannot know which igneous rock is youngest.
Explanation:
The information contained in the question above is not sufficient to determine which of the two igneous rock intrusions is the youngest event, although we can say that it was one of the two.
Even in the absence of a complete answer, it is worth describing what an ignea rock is. Ignal rocks can also be called magmatic rocks and are characterized as a terrestrial rock that originated from the solidification of magma, without having previously undergone a process of sedimentation or metamorphism. As you may already know, magma can solidify and cool on the earth's surface, or inside the earth, giving rise to extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.
