submit

Explanation:

• Option A: The passage doesn't describe the penguin skeleton's appearance, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: There's no comparison between kids and adults as fossil hunters, so B is wrong.
• Option C: The examples of a 4 - year - old finding a dinosaur footprint and a kids' club finding a prehistoric penguin skeleton show kids making remarkable fossil discoveries, so C matches the purpose.
• Option D: The dinosaur footprint's age is a detail, not the main reason for including the info, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. To show that kids have made amazing fossil finds
