Correct answer: Fossil B is most likely older than fossil A.
Reason: By the principle of superposition in undisturbed sedimentary layers, deeper fossils are generally older than shallower ones. You cannot assume they lived at the same time, that one evolved from the other, or that the shallower fossil is older without additional evidence.
