The correct conclusion is:
**Fault B is younger than layer C based on the law of crosscutting.**
According to the law of crosscutting relationships, geologic features that cut through other layers are younger than the layers they cut through. Therefore, if Fault B cuts across several layers of rock, it is younger than the layers it intersects. This means Fault B is younger than layer C, as well as older layers, such as layer D.
