[AI-generated answer — Bot]

The evidence for the age of the Earth indicated by the fact that sedimentary rock is found on mountain tops is that some force lifted the rocks from the water. This force is tectonic activity, where the movement of the Earth's plates has lifted and folded the rock formations over millions of years. This process takes a long time, indicating that the Earth is indeed very old and has had sufficient time for many rock layers to form. Therefore, the correct answer is: that some force lifted the rocks from the water.
