Answer:

A) The fossil record provides evidence that predator-prey interactions may have shaped the course of animal evolution.

Explanation:

For example, through evolution, periwinkle populations with a history of predation by crabs have become less vulnerable to crab predation.

The researchers' hypothesis was that southern periwinkle populations with a history of predation by crabs have become less vulnerable to crab predation through evolution.
