Answer 2

A) The layer changed from land to water

=> From the fossil of the fish, we can say that the fish used to live in that area From the other fossils, we can tell that land animals lived there first before the fish appear due to the fact that the layer cointaining the bone and tooth is older -> that layer appeared first, which can only mean one thing: that area changed from land to water.
