The diagram below shows four fossils found in different time periods Fossil A is the oldest and fossil D is the youngest Fossils Found In Different Time Periods from oldest to youngest A B Fossil A is from a four toed animal and shares many similarities with fossil B Likewise fossil B shares many similarities with fossil C and fossil C shares many similarities with fossil D which came from a hoofed species Additionally fossil A and fossil D have never appeared in the same geologic time period Which of the following assumptions about the history of these fossils is best supported by this evidence OA A hoofed species died out and was replaced by an unrelated four toed species C D OB A hoofed species interbred with a four toed species to create a hybrid species OC A new four toed species evolved from a hoofed ancestor OD A new hoofed species evolved from a four toed ancestor
