The correct option is- The oldest rock is located at the bottom and the youngest are located at the top.

  • The rocks that are found farther from the Earth's surface was formed first and hence, are the oldest rocks while the rocks that are found near the Earth's surface are formed recently and hence, are the youngest rocks. This is the law of superposition according to which sedimentary rocks are the oldest rocks.
  • Radiometric dating is the most useful technique to determine the age of rocks that was formed several thousand years ago.
