Evidence for coordinated stasis is found in ____.
KonstantinChe [14]

The correct answer is option (A) the fossil record.

Coordinated stasis refers to the stasis or the no evolutionary changes in the organisms for millions of years, which is followed by extinction and formation of the new species.

Fossil records have the evidence of ecological and evolutionary stability in the species over a long period of geological time scale separated by intervals of abrupt change. The best example of this being the animals of the Middle Devonian Hamilton group. Thus, fossil record is the only source of record showing this long period of stasis and separated by periods of abrupt changes in the species due to environmental pressures.
