Answer:

D. Layer B

Explanation:

The correct answer is Layer B.

The law of superposition actually states that the sedimentary rock unit is at the bottom while the the youngest rock is at the top.  The principle of cross-cutting relationships states in layers of rocks, a fault or intrusion that cuts through rock layers is younger than the rocks that it cuts through.

Layer B was actually formed after Layer C. This makes Layer B younger than Layer C and closest in age to Layer C. The intrusion, Layer D is the youngest of all.

Choose the statements below that are true.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.

Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.

All organisms are made of multiple cells. This is false, because there are many single celled organisms like bacteria.

Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.
