C.

Explanation:

Absolute dating is defined as the method used to determine the age of biotic or abiotic things on a specified chronology in geology and archaeology.

Layers of the soil are used to determine the age of a geologic event is not a form of absolute dating because the deepest river deposits in the specific basin is used to determine the geological event.

So, the deposits of soil are used to tell the the age of a geologic event and not the layers of soil.

Hence, the correct option is C.

igneous rocks which formed by the crystallization of magma at the surface of the earth called extrusive rocks. they are characterized by fine-grained textures because the rapid cooling at or near the surface did not provide enough time for large crystals to grow.
