Which statement is best supported by the archaeological record described in the fact?
- AAboriginal peoples have been present in Australia for tens of thousands of years.Correct
- BAboriginal peoples arrived in Australia only in the last few centuries.
- CThe exact year Aboriginal peoples arrived in Australia is known.
- DAboriginal peoples arrived in Australia before 100,000 years ago.
The stated range of 65,000 to 40,000 years ago supports the conclusion that Aboriginal peoples have been present in Australia for tens of thousands of years. The fact gives a range, not an exact year, and it does not support arrival only in recent centuries or before 100,000 years ago.
