Which of the following would a scientist study fossil be most likely to examine A a skull fragment B a piece of pottery C a cake painting D a tool made of bone

Answer 1

A scientist studying fossils would be most likely to examine A) a skull fragment. Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms, and bone fragments like skulls are considered fossils, whereas pottery, cave paintings, and tools made of bone are associated with human artifact studies or archaeology rather than paleontology.
