This is described in AIM chapter 3. The rules for the more restrictive
airspace will apply when there is an overlap.

An obvious example of this is restricted airspaces. The majority of
R-airspaces overlap with G or E airspaces, but in those instances we
don't question which rules apply.

If Class C overlaps Class D (see Portland Troutdale airport), which
airspace takes precedence?
