Detailed explanation-1: -Fossils are remains of dead plants and animals that have been preserved from the past and which provides information about life in the past.

Detailed explanation-2: -fossil record, history of life as documented by fossils, the remains or imprints of organisms from earlier geological periods preserved in sedimentary rock.
Detailed explanation-3: -Evidence for common ancestry can be found in the fossil record, from comparative anatomy and embryology, from the similarities of cellular processes and structures, and from comparisons of DNA sequences between species.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; fossils show a progression of evolution.
Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer is a. The fossil record provides substantial evidence that humans and chimps share a common ancestor. Humans and chimps follow the theory of descent.
