Many fossils of Shark teeth have recently been found that are all the same size and color compared to modern sharks. B. Many fossils of Shał teeth have been found that show different sizes and serrations (saw-like edges). These fossil teeth have distinct differences and similarities to modern sharks. C.

Answer:

A. Many fossils of Shark teeth have recently been found that are all the same size and color compared to modern sharks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolution is the change in characteristics of a species over time and it relies on the process of natural selection.

The theory of evolution states that all species are related and gradually change over time.

Since all options except A show a change in the characteristics of shark teeth in the fossils found in relation to modern sharks, option A is the answer. Since, there is no change in characteristics between the Shark teeth in the fossils and that of modern sharks.

So, option A is the answer.
