Caitlin was in California on vacation last summer when she took this photo of an interesting rock formation:

When she showed this photo to her classmates, they agreed that the sand at the top of the ridge above the curved layers of sandstone was the last feature to form there, but there was disagreement over when the curve of the rock layers occurred in the formation of the ridge. Which reasoning could Caitlin and her classmates use to correctly determine what happened?

A. The curve of the sandstone layers occurred after the sandstone was laid down because the curve was the result of glaciers in the region.

B. The sandstone layers were laid down in a curved formation first because they were at one time a channel for a large river that flowed here.

C. The curve of the sandstone layers occurred after they were laid down because rock layers are naturally laid down horizontally.

D. The sandstone layers were laid down after the curve because they were laid down on top of rocks that had collapsed due to a landslide.

C. The curve of the sandstone layers occurred after they were laid down because rock layers are naturally laid down horizontally.
