Target entity: Ediacaran soft-bodied communities Context triple: [Cambrian explosion, precededBy, Ediacaran soft-bodied communities]
-
A.
Ediacaran biota
chosen
The Ediacaran biota comprises some of the earliest known complex multicellular organisms, featuring soft-bodied, enigmatic life forms that lived in the oceans before the Cambrian explosion.
-
B.
Cambrian biota
The Cambrian biota comprises the diverse and rapidly evolving array of animal life that appeared during the Cambrian explosion, marking a major expansion in complexity and the emergence of most major animal groups.
-
C.
Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event
The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event was a profound evolutionary radiation during the Ordovician Period that saw a dramatic increase in marine biodiversity and the establishment of many major animal groups in Paleozoic oceans.
-
D.
On the Imperfection of the Geological Record
"On the Imperfection of the Geological Record" is a chapter in Charles Darwin's *On the Origin of Species* that addresses why the fossil record is incomplete and how this affects evidence for evolutionary change.
-
E.
Cambrian explosion
The Cambrian explosion was a relatively brief period around 541 million years ago when most major animal groups rapidly appeared in the fossil record, dramatically increasing the complexity and diversity of life on Earth.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
