Answer:
(B) X is the youngest feature.

Step-by-step explanation:
In determining the relative age of rock layers, two rules need to be followed:
1. Layers will form horizontally on top of each other
2. For a fault line/igneous intrusion to break through a layer, it had to have existed at the time of the intrusion/layer

Using rule 1, we can say that A is certainly not older than B. Also, C is the bottommost layer hence the oldest.

The order of youngest to oldest is: X, Y, A, B, C.

Hence, X is the youngest feature. Option B is correct.

Answer: B is the correct answer

Explanation: I say B is the answer because the oldest would be on the bottom and the youngest on the top, and the only answer to it is B therefore B is the correct answer
