Answer 2

Answer: option B. - A, B, D, E, C, H, F, G is correct using the principle of cross-cutting relationships.

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through.

Step-by-step explanation:

The full sequence of events is:

1. Layer A formed.

2. Layer B formed

3. Layer D formed.

4. Layer E formed

5. After layers A-B-D-E were present, intrusion C cut across all three.

6. Fault H formed, shifting rocks E through A and intrusion C.

7. Weathering and erosion created a layer of soil on top of layer F then G.
