The correct answer is **A. the fossil record shows changes in species over time.**
Scientists use the fossil record to document the gradual changes that occur in species over long periods, providing evidence for the process of evolution. The fossil record reveals transitions between species and showcases the diversity of life and how organisms have adapted to their environments over geological time.
