The correct conclusion is:
A. The fault is older than the layers of rock based on the law of crosscutting.
The law of crosscutting states that a geological feature (like a fault) that cuts through other layers is younger than the layers it cuts through. Since the fault cuts across the layers of rock, it implies that the fault is older than those layers.
