Answer 1

If a scientist were to find 4 fossils that appear to be of the same ancestor, the most relevant conclusion from the options provided could be that **fossils have similar characteristics**. This similarity in characteristics suggests that they share a common ancestry, supporting the idea of evolutionary relationships among the fossils. Other factors like the fossils being found in the same rock layer could also imply a chronological relationship, but the direct indication of shared ancestry comes from their similar characteristics.
