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 finding suggests a possible link to an asteroid impact, as iridium is more abundant in asteroids than on Earth. It supports the hypothesis that an asteroid collision could have contributed to the mass extinction event that included the dinosaurs.
