The fossil record will best answer the question: "How are the animals related to modern animals?"
The fossil record provides insights into the evolutionary relationships between extinct species and their modern descendants, allowing scientists to draw connections and understand the lineage of different animals. The other questions may be addressed through additional methods or evidence, but the fossil record is particularly valuable in establishing these evolutionary relationships.
