Answer:

B. What the climate was like in the area long ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

All flowering plants produce pollen grains with distinctive shapes that change as climatic factors change as plants are generally distributed based on patterns of temperature and precipitation. So, fossil pollen records can tell us about the past climate.
