The correct answer to the quiz question "Rocks in continental crust are as old as years." is: A. 4.4 billion The oldest rocks found on Earth, which are part of the continental crust, have been dated to about 4.4 billion years old. These ancient rocks provide important information about the early history of the Earth's formation and development.
