How are fossils useful as evidence of evolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They give information about ancient organisms and changes over time
Fossils are preserved remains, impressions, or traces of organisms that lived in the past. By comparing fossils from rock layers of different ages with living organisms, scientists can identify structural similarities, differences, and changes through geological time. This provides evidence for gradual biological change and evolutionary relationships. Option A is correct; the other choices assign fossils unrelated abilities such as controlling weather or changing blood groups.
