What is an example of evidence that you could use to best support this argument?

B. patterns in limb structures

Patterns in limb structures can be a strong indicator of shared ancestry among organisms. If the fossils in question all exhibit similar limb structures, such as the arrangement of bones in the arms or legs, it suggests a common evolutionary origin. This evidence can help support the argument that the organisms are related and share a common ancestor.
