Actually the greatest information we can extract from the graph is that the lower the fossil is located beneath the rock, the older it is. So we can see that fossil A is the oldest, trilobite and fossil B came together, and fossil C is the youngest. From the choices, the answer is:

D. fossil B belongs to the same period as the trilobite
