B
Many fossils demonstrate that organisms have changed over time.
C
Fossils of the same species have been found on distant continents.
D
Many fossils of organisms that are no longer living have been discovered.

Explanation

Mass extinctions involve many kinds of organisms dying out. Discovering fossils of many organisms that are no longer living is evidence that species have become extinct during Earth's history, and that these extinctions may have occurred in large numbers. Therefore, the best choice is “Many fossils of organisms that are no longer living have been discovered.”
