Answer:

D. The Earth's atmosphere has remained the same for the past 200 million years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth's atmosphere has changed over the time as oxygen levels have decreased significantly due to carbon emissions. This means this statement is false, since Earth's atmosphere has changed a good amount over the past 200 million years.
