Maggie Christensen · Answer 1

The layer most likely to have organisms which lived at the same time as the bird species is 'C', Layer 2. Layer 2 is closer to layer 3 than any of the other layers listed. Assuming that layers were laid down sequentially as time passed, it is reasonable to assume that layer 2 was laid down most closely in time to layer 3.
