"Fossils can provide information about when life forms existed." — True.
Brief explanation: fossils can be dated (relative and radiometric methods) so they tell when organisms lived. The other statements are false: the fossil record is incomplete so it doesn't show the entire evolutionary process; fossils (including trace fossils and growth series) can reveal life cycles and behaviors; and fossils do provide evidence useful for assessing relatedness among organisms.
