Correct Answer: have been difficult to reconstruct
Solution : The third option is correct.
Explanation : The original sentence has a subject-verb agreement issue. The timescale is a singular subject , but the verb "have been " is plural. It should be " has been " to match the singular subject timescale.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The timescale of prokaryote evolution has been difficult to reconstruct because of a limited fossil record."
