Answer:

Option (D)- which is fossil 4, as given in the image

Explanation:

From the law of superposition of rocks, it is known that the rock layer forming the bottom of an undisturbed sedimentary sequence are the oldest rocks because they those sediments were first deposited there and due to compaction and lithification it formed a rock layer, and subsequently new sediments are deposited on top of it. The rocks that are found to be present at the apex portion of a rock sequence signifies the youngest rocks, where the recent sediments are deposited.

So the fossils present in the bottom layers will be oldest and those fossils that are present on the top rock layers are the youngest.

Thus, the fossil sample number 4 (trilobites), as given in the image is the oldest fossil.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D), which is fossil 4.

Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life?
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

All Animals have EVERY right to a good quality of life! It is humans with a typical human arrogance that decide who lives, who dies, who is food and who is not and how they will live and be killed. We even have Animal Protection laws for dogs, cats and “pets” and farm animals are treated like dirt, having very few protections! If you did to your dog what you do to pigs you would go to jail! Discrimination and arrogance taken to the nth degree! Since humans subject Animals to the existence humans choose and nobody ever asked a cow, a pig, a hen or any other animal how they want to live their life I think it can qualify as “Slavery”.
