The artificial selection is a procedure of selectively breeding certain species of plants and animals in order to develop certain desirable traits. Artificial selection helps the humans to get the plants or livestock that are the most useful for them. Among the given options, the choosing of the sheep giving the most wool, mating of the goats producing more milk, and mating of the ducks to produce large eggs are all examples of the deliberate artificial selection.
But the using of the fishing nets that are catching only the large crabs is an example of indirect artificial selection as it leads to the increased population of small crabs.
Hence, the correct answer is 'option d'.
Your answer is (B.)
Fossils in newer layers if rock are generally estimated to be younger than fossils found in the deeper layers because it is closest to the surface. The soil and earth didn't have enough time to "bury" the remains of the dead animal ( Bury is used for a simpler term) underground. The farther down a fossil is the more likely it is older unless the animal tends to burrow. Seeing as the question is probably talking of older animals that is unlikely for an animal to burrow that far. So your answer is B.

The most probable future changes in the global climate are:
- Global warming;
If the levels of CO2 and methane increase enough in the atmosphere to be able to intensify the Greenhouse effect, than some portion of the ice on the planet will melt because of the rising temperatures, thus lifting up the sea level, creating more unpredictable weather with larger and stronger storms, but also making the mainland much drier. This would be a scenario if the continents are arranged like they are now, but if there isn't a sufficient mass of land on and around the poles, than all of the ice will melt and the sea levels will rise so much that the planet will come in the ''water planet'' scenario, and it will have wet tropical climate pretty much everywhere on the planet.
- Ice Age;
If there's a disruption in the warm ocean streams and some of them disappear, or the levels of nitrogen or oxygen increase in the atmosphere, the Earth will start to cool off, thus coming to a situation of an Ice Age. In this kind of situation, there will be large ice sheets on and around the poles that are stretching much further towards the lower latitudes, as well as mountains all over the world that are covered in snow and shaped by glaciers.
