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.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Naturally: only during daylight hours

Artificially: all 24 hours (under perfect circumstances)

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can only occur when a plant receives energy from a light source. Naturally, the light source would be the sun which is only around for a certain amount of hours. If the plant is under an artificial light source, like a lamp, then photosynthesis can occur at all hours of the day.
