Question

Which statement is true about fossils? A) There are more fossils in warm, wet tropical areas. B) No fossils resemble organisms that are presently alive. C) The oldest fossils are found in layers closest to the surface. D) The complexity of the organisms in fossil beds increases closer to the surface.

Answer 1

D) The complexity of the organisms in fossil beds increases closer to the surface.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be D) The complexity of the organisms in fossil beds increases closer to the surface.

Fossils refer to the dead remains, impressions, or traces of ancient organisms

For example, bones, exoskeleton, shells, et cetera.

Due to evolution, the complexity of organisms increases with time due to which fossils found closer to the surface are more complex in nature as compared to the fossils found in deeper layers.
