Solution

The correct option is A Fossil X was found in deeper sedimentation
One proof is rock layers explicitly, what is known as the geologic section. Fundamentally, researchers have discovered that stones are stacked in layers containing fossils with the most established fossils at the most profound layers, and the most youthful, on the top.
So, the correct option is 'Fossil X was found in deeper sedimentation'.
