Answer 1

The response that best supports the evidence that an asteroid collision may have caused the extinction of dinosaurs is: Rare metal on Earth called Iridium is found in layers where dinosaurs disappeared.

This is significant because iridium is rare on Earth's surface but common in asteroids, suggesting that an asteroid impact could have deposited it in the geological layers associated with the extinction event.
