The correct response describing the law of superposition used to find the relative age of fossils in rocks is:
Fossils in bottom layers are older than fossils in top layers.
This principle states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest layers are at the top.
