D
archaeologists focus on artifacts of ancient people, while anthropologists study human remains of ancient people.

Explanation

Archaeologists study past people largely by examining material evidence, such as tools, buildings, and other artifacts. Anthropologists study humans more broadly, including cultures, social life, and behavior, both past and present. So the best choice is that archaeologists concentrate on physical artifacts while anthropologists study a wider range of human cultures and behaviors.
