D. fossil evidence
Fossils (including teeth and bones) provide direct physical evidence of past horses and can show changes in anatomy and diet (wear patterns, tooth structure, isotopic signatures), whereas cave drawings, fables, or modern interviews are far less reliable for proving long-term biological change.
