Fossils are evidence of evolution but why do they not give complete information alone?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because every organism is not preserved as a fossil
The governing concept is that fossils provide historical evidence, but the fossil record is incomplete. A fossil forms only when suitable conditions preserve the remains or traces of an organism; many organisms decay, are eaten, or leave no preserved remains. Therefore option A is correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because fossils can be very old, are directly related to past organisms, and may reveal structure and habitat as well as feeding clues.
