Answer

Brief Explanations:

Relative - dating is used to determine the age of a fossil or rock in comparison to other fossils or rocks. If fossil X is 65 million years old and fossils X and Y are in similar rock - strata (as indicated by the rock profile), relative dating can suggest that they lived in a similar time period. It cannot determine the age of the organism when it died, the type of environment it lived in, or the distortion by the fault.

Answer:

H. The similar time period in which the organism lived
