Based on the context in paragraph 4, fossil refers to . a. how igneous rocks were formed over time
b. a trace or print, or the remains of a plant or animal of a past age preserved in Earth or rock
c. layers of sediment building up over time and pressing down, forming rock

4. Sedimentary rock is the second category. These rocks cover most of Earth’s land. Sedimentary rocks are made of pieces of other rocks and shells. Erosion causes rocks to slowly wear away. Erosion can be caused by rain, wind, freezing, and plant roots. Sometimes small pieces of rock are made because of erosion. The small pieces of rock are called sediment. Rivers take sediment to oceans and lakes. The river drops the sediments as it slows down. The sediments settle to the bottom in layers. More and more layers of sediment are dropped over millions of years. The weight from the top layers turns the bottom layers of sediments into rock. This makes some sedimentary rocks look layered. Fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.

Astudy by solloch and et. al., in 2017, gives the map above which shows the frequency of alleles with a ccr5-delta32 mutations over 87 different countries. this mutation deletes the presence of a co-receptor (ccr5) on the outside of human t-cells (lymphocytes). some viruses, such as the one responsible for the black death and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), require this receptor for attachment to host cells during the infection process. the black death was an epidemic that passed over northern europe during the 14th century killing nearly 60% of europeans. according to this information, which explanation best explains why northern europeans show a greater immunity for hiv than some other parts of the world?
