Answer:

c. index fossil

Explanation:

Trilobite fossils are found worldwide, with many thousands of known species. Because they evolved rapidly, and molted like other arthropods, trilobites serve as excellent index fossils. (Arthropods periodically shed their old exoskeletons, or molt.) An index fossil is one that is useful for dating and correlating the strata in which it is found.
