Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils give us a useful insight into the history of life on Earth. They can teach us where life and humans came from, show us how the Earth and our environment have changed through geological time, and how continents, now widely separated, were once connected.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Archaeopteryx is not a living fossil in fact it is a connecting link between the birds and the reptiles while King crab, Sphenodon, and Peripatus are the living fossils.
