C. both laws describe the relative ages of rocks
The law of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom, and the youngest layers are at the top. The law of inclusion states that any rock fragments that are included in another rock must be older than the rock in which they are included. Both laws help determine the relative ages of rock layers and their relationships to one another.
