How do fossils provide evidence for evolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They show what earlier organisms were like and how changes occurred over time
Fossils are preserved remains, impressions, or traces of organisms that lived in the past. Fossils from different rock layers reveal the kinds of organisms that existed at different times and show gradual structural changes. Therefore option A correctly describes their value as evolutionary evidence. Weather, blood groups, and food taste are not established by fossils in this way.
