Which of the following is the most direct evidence for evolution?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D. Fossil record.

Explanation:

The fossil record evidences the evolutionary history of life on Earth by tracing the life forms that existed from earlier geological times and remained in the sedimentary rock. Different fossils were dated in the sedimentary rocks of all geological periods. The simplest forms of life were discovered in the oldest rocks, while more complex fossil organisms were found in the newest rocks. In consequence, the fossil record can support the evolutionary process as proposed by Charles Darwin, who indicated that the simplest forms of life evolved in more complex organisms.
