Answer: b. Living fossil

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1859 Charles Darwin proposed the term living fossil, that means a species or group of species that had not changed in terms of evolutionary context thus can be useful in tracing the extinct or previously existing forms of life. The examples of the living fossils are horseshoe crabs, ginkgo (Conifers) and tuatara. These group of animals were existed unchanged in the Ordovician, Permian, and Triassic periods respectively with few surviving species.
