Answers (1)

Answer: (b)

Solution:
A fossil is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
If the fossil of an organism is found in the deeper layers of earth, then the extinction of an organism is predicted to have occurred thousands of years ago.
The more recent fossils are the ones found closer to the surface.
