Final answer:

The geologic events in order from oldest to youngest are C-C', G-G', H, M, B, J, A, E, F, D, L, I, K.

Step-by-step explanation:

The geologic events in order from oldest to youngest are:

  1. C-C' (unconformity)
  2. G-G' (deformation/folding)
  3. H (deformation of G' layer)
  4. M (igneous intrusion)
  5. B (deformation/faulting)
  6. J (deformation of B layer)
  7. A (deposition of sedimentary rocks)
  8. E (deposition of sedimentary rocks)
  9. F (deformation/faulting)
  10. D (igneous intrusion)
  11. L (deposition of sedimentary rocks)
  12. I (deposition of sedimentary rocks)
  13. K (deposition of sedimentary rocks)
