Valeria Clarke · Answer 1

The correct answer is : B. taphonomy

Explanation:

It relates to the study of the processes that influence the production of the fossil record. This information comes from a dead organism and then it is collected by a paleontologist. It gives a detailed narrative of the systematic actions that influenced a skeletal and taxonomic composition of the remains.
