add please few words of explanation



Answer :

Erudite1
The correct option is D.
Paleontology is the study of the history of life on earth based on information and data that are obtained form fossils. Fossils are of different types, they can be remains of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, etc. Information such as the structure of an organism, the environment in which it existed and its way of life can be obtained from fossils analysis. But fossils can not provide information about DNA because fossils don't possess nucleic acids on which DNA analysis can be based. 

Paleontologists do fossils study and get information about the structure, lifestyle, and habitat of an organism. The study of the fossil can not ascertain the genetic data of an organism.

Further Explanation:

Paleontology is a study of life that exists before this era. Paleontologists are the scientists who study paleontology. These studies mainly include the study of the fossils to get information regarding the organism’s lifestyle, habitat, and morphological structure. As now we are in the 21st century, it is necessary for us evolutionary trends from 18 centuries to the present. Fossils are the principle evidence that tells us about ancient beings. Also, the geochemical evidence such as soil helps us to determine the evolution of life. Estimation of dates of remains is crucial, but although it’s difficult. The study of the fossils cannot give any information related to the genetic makeup of an organism.
