Many times it is difficult to see the layers of the Earth firsthand. Therefore, scientists take strike and dip measurements along the surface of the Earth to determine what the layers look like at depth. Understanding that the fold axis is an imaginary hinge at the apex of a fold, a geologist would know that the presence of an anticline exists when multiple layers are exposed and:

A) the rock layers dip outward or away from the fold axis and rock layers become progressive older as you move away
B) the rock layers dip inward or toward the fold axis and rock layers become progressively younger as you move away
C) the rock layers dip outward or away from the fold axis and rock layers become progressively younger as you move away
D) the rock layers dip inward or toward the fold axis and rock layers become progressively older as you move away
