In 2006, scientists found a fossil that seemed to have fish-like scales and four legs. It also had a bone structure in its neck that suggested it could move its head. This fossil was given the name Tiktaalik and its discovery turned the scientific world upside down.

What evidence does the discovery of Tiktaalik give to support the theory of evolution?

A. Tiktaalik shows that land animals and fish are not as closely related as once thought.

B. Tiktaalik shows that land animals and fish developed from completely different ancestors.

C. Tiktaalik shows that fish decided to grow legs at some point, which allowed them to walk on land.

D. Tiktaalik shows that extinct species are related to modern species, which supports the idea of common ancestry.
