Question

Which of the following is not an evidence of evolution? a. Fossils b. Paleontology c. Artificial selection d. Embryology
Options
A Fossils
B Paleontology
Correct Answer
C Artificial selection
D Embryology
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Paleontology is the study of fossils, which is a field of science that provides evidence for evolution. It is not itself a piece of evidence, but the discipline that uncovers and interprets the evidence (fossils). Fossils, artificial selection (as a demonstration of selection), and embryology are all lines of evidence.

Hint

One is the science of studying the evidence, the others are the evidence itself or demonstrations of the mechanism.
