Solution
The correct option is B Palaeontologists
- Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth as based on fossils. Fossils are the remains of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled living things that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of organisms preserved in rock.
- Fossils, along with the comparative anatomy of present-day organisms, constitute the morphological, or anatomical, record. By comparing the anatomies of both modern and extinct species, paleontologists can infer the lineages of those species.
- Hence Biologists who study the sequences of organisms in the fossil record are Paleontologists.
- So, the correct answer is 'Paleontologists'.
