Histrionicus

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Fossils help in establishing the fact that evolution took place as organisms were not similar as they are now. They go through the process of evolution and fossils help in showing the progression of evolution.

It helps in the comparative study of the anatomy with the organisms on the present now and also helps in comparing the characters share by the two closely related species and their intermediate species found in the form of fossils.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
