C

if you only study modern horses diets then you wouldn't be able to find out because your only studying modern horses

its not B because they aren't even the same animals

not D because again its only studying modern horses

Its C because it's comparing the teeth of 1st the same animal and 2nd you can tell what animals ate/eat by the teeth like animals who eat meet have sharp teeth
