The correct answer is: organisms that once lived. Fossils are the remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past, and they are used by scientists to learn about the history of life on Earth.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

Fossils are primarily used to study organisms that once lived. This is because fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, such as bones, shells, teeth, or imprints. By studying fossils, scientists can learn about the characteristics, behavior, and evolution of these extinct organisms. Fossils also provide important insights into the history of life on Earth and help in constructing phylogenetic trees, which show the evolutionary relationships between different species.
