The correct answer of the given question above would be definitely be option C. When sediments settle onto the bottom of the sea, they form layers of rocks and these sediments are deposited horizontally, not vertically nor diagonally. These sediments are deposited in a span of time. These sediments are formed from rocks, minerals and from remains of plants and animals.
