A. True
The Law of Cross-Cutting Relationships states that if one geological feature cuts across another, the feature that has been cut is older. This principle, combined with the idea that sedimentary layers are generally deposited in chronological order (younger layers on top of older layers), supports the notion that younger rocks are situated above older rocks, much like footprints in the snow.
