Answer 1

None of the options listed are the correct answer. The logical fallacy committed when decay rates are used to "prove" evolution is a false analogy (comparing two things that are not truly comparable). Decay rates can provide evidence for the age of a fossil, but they do not prove evolution in and of themselves.
