Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Fossils can provide information about when life forms existed.

Fossils do indeed help scientists understand the chronological order of life forms and the history of life on Earth. They can also provide some clues about relatedness and behaviors, but they do not provide comprehensive information about the entire evolutionary process or specific life cycles.
