Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Remote observation techniques allow scientists to study the reflection of electromagnetic energy, surface textures, and thermal properties of celestial bodies. However, determining the presence of fossils requires direct sampling or more detailed analysis than what remote sensing can typically provide, as it involves the study of specific organic structures within rocks.
