So we have two limestone beds, one of 550 million years old (well, the fossils are, but it suggests that the rock was created around the same area) and another that is 400 million years old. The first one is then older than the second - the correct answer is c!

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of skeletal fragments of marine organisms. The presence of fossils reveals the biological origin of these rocks.
