The three correct methods of relative aging of rocks from your options are:
1. **Original Horizontality**
2. **Superposition**
3. **Cross-Cutting Relationships**
These principles are used in geology to determine the relative ages of rock layers. Radiometric dating, while important for determining absolute ages, is not a method of relative aging. "Original angularity" is not a standard method of relative dating.
