Placental mammals are one group of mammals. Using DNA evidence, scientists have concluded that the ancestor of placental mammals diverged from other mammal groups about 160 million years ago. The analysis of which of the following types of evidence would best verify this conclusion ? (1 point) behaviors cells diets fossils

The analysis of fossils would best verify the conclusion that the ancestor of placental mammals diverged from other mammal groups about 160 million years ago. By examining fossil records, scientists can compare the age and characteristics of different species, allowing them to determine when certain groups diverged from each other.
