b. Some species are more likely to be fossilized than others (e.g. larger animals are more likely to be fossilized than smaller animals)
c. Some fossil bearing sites are more likely to be discovered than others
d. All of the above answers are correct
e. None of the above answers is correct. The fossil record is an unbiased and accurate representation of the evolutionary history of all species.
