Camilla volunteers at a local natural history museum, where there is a new fossil on display. Her mentor at the museum, a fossil scientist, has asked her to write an informative text about the fossil to attach to the display. Here is the first paragraph from her work:

Scientists have uncovered a new species of ichthyosaur. According to researchers, the animal “was the most highly adapted of all marine reptiles.” The animal’s scientific name Thalattoarchon saurophagis means “lizard-eating ruler of the sea.” Fossils indicate that the creature was no less than twenty-eight feet long, had a fishlike shape, and a head two times larger for its body size than its relatives.

Which fact should Camilla add to support the ideas she’s presented in this paragraph?

A.
The massive sea creature gave birth to live young.
B.
The animal’s skull has orbits, or bony sockets for the eyes, that measure one foot in diameter.
C.
Like other sea reptiles, T. saurophagis had pointed, cone-shaped teeth suitable for grabbing prey.
D.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, a catastrophic event wiped out 95 percent of marine animals like T. saurophagis.
