D that the organisms living on Earth have remained unchanged over time

Answer 1

Without seeing the specific image you're referring to, I can provide some general information about each option.

• A suggests a view consistent with evolutionary theory, which states that organisms have changed over time due to various factors such as natural selection and genetic drift.
• B is incorrect, as the Paleozoic Era actually predates the Cenozoic Era.
• C is incorrect because the Paleozoic Era is not the most recent; the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras are more recent.
• D contradicts the evidence from the fossil record and evolutionary biology, which shows that organisms have changed over time.

Based on the common scientific understanding, the most reasonable choice would be A, as it aligns with the idea that organisms have evolved over time. If you can provide the context or details of the image, I could give a more definitive answer.
