The correct response to describe the difference between the law of inclusion and the law of crosscutting is:
C. Intruding objects are older in the law of inclusion.
In relative dating, the law of inclusion states that the rock or sediment that includes fragments must be younger than the fragments within it. Conversely, the law of crosscutting states that a rock or fault is younger than any rock or fault that it cuts through.
