The response that best supports the evidence that an asteroid collision may have caused the extinction of dinosaurs is:
Rare metal on Earth called Iridium is found in layers where dinosaurs disappeared.
This statement is significant because the presence of iridium, which is common in asteroids, in geological layers corresponding to the time of the dinosaurs' extinction suggests that a major asteroid impact could have occurred, supporting the impact hypothesis for their extinction.
