Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine the minor supporting detail, we analyze each option:
- The first option supports the asteroid impact cause (a major cause of extinction, so a major detail).
- The second option is an introductory artistic reference, not directly supporting the extinction causes (minor detail as it sets the scene but isn't a key support for the main idea of extinction causes).
- The third option presents the main causes (major detail, the central idea's overview).
- The fourth option supports the sea - level change cause (a major cause, so a major detail).

# Answer:
The option "Everyone has seen art of a surprised T. rex staring up into the sky at the fiery comet bringing doom upon its kind."
