b. mammals.
c. fish.
d. insects.

Answer 1

Answer: D. Insects

Fossils that are preserved in the Burgess Shale are mostly the remains of soft-bodied organisms.

So the answer is D because insects don’t really have bones like the rest of the other options. They have exoskeletons which protects their organs and gives them support for moving around.
