Question 5 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Which best describes how the fossil record supports the theory of evolution?

Answer
A
The fossil record cannot accurately be dated.
B
The fossil record shows exactly how all species have evolved.
C
The fossil record reveals intermediates that link different species.
D
The fossil record refutes Charles Darwin's theories.

Explanation

Fossils preserve evidence of organisms that lived at different times. Some fossils have features shared by older and newer groups, providing intermediate forms that help show how species are related and changed over time. The fossil record is incomplete, so it does not show exactly how every species evolved, making B too absolute.
