    i would reject A due to the statement…..
    enabling experts to ensure the evolution of the horseshoe crab.

    acc. to statement it looks as if the horshoe crab is extinct …. not u cannot ensure the evaluation of something just by preserving the fossil …

    u can only study the fossil to determine its internal structure .. i.e. reasses it and clarify the previous doubts which might have been obscured earlier …

    hope it helps
