Answer is (a) uses  the law of superposition to determine which rock is older or younger.

Explanation:

 It uses the law of superposition to determine which rock is older or younger can determine the age based on location of a rock within the same layer requires only one rock to determine the age can provide the exact age of a rock

Relative age of rocks is defined as the geological age of a fossil organism, rock or event relative to other organisms, rocks, features, or events rather than in terms of years. Relative age is important for understanding Earth’s history. To determine the relative age for different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. This is known as the Rule of Superposition. This rule serves as a powerful reference point. Geologists draw on it and other basic principles to determine the relative ages of rocks or features such as faults.
