Final answer:
The question of whether feature X (hole) is older or younger than layer E requires more information. Without a visual or more context, the answer is "Insufficient information" according to the law of superposition.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is regarding the age of feature X in relation to layer E and if it's possible to apply the law of superposition to determine which is older. The law of superposition dictates that in a sequence of undisturbed sedimentary rocks, the oldest layers are on the bottom and the youngest on the top. If feature X (the hole) cuts through layer E, it must be younger. This is because a hole (or any feature) can only be created in rock after the rock itself exists.
Since the student has not provided a visual for examination or enough context to fully assert this relationship, the answer will be option (c), "Insufficient information". To firmly answer the question of relative age, one would need to see the geological cross-section or have a description indicating whether feature X intersects layer E or is completely separate from it.
