The concept of relative dating is best described by:
**B Comparing the age of different rocks.**
Relative dating involves determining the sequence of events in geological history by comparing the ages of different rock layers and fossils. It does not provide an exact age (which is known as absolute dating) but allows scientists to understand the relative order in which geological events occurred.
