Jaida · Answer 1

Option D, Requires that evolution occurred

Explanation:

As per the law of Faunal Succession, the strata in a sedimentary rocks consists of fossils of different time period that are arranged one over the other in a vertical manner. This shows that each vertical layer consist if fossils that have evolved from the previous fossilized species.

This was found by geologist William Smith who later used this vertical strata for determining the age of rock and sediments based on the rock of fossils.

Hence, Option D is correct
