本题对应原文 Although aragonite has the same composition as the more familiar mineral known as calcite, it has a different crystal form, is relatively unstable, and in time changes to the more stable calcite,即 aragonite 不稳定,会变成更稳定的形式,所以答案是 C 选项。A 选项不对,aragonite 实际上会发生改变,并不是保持不变;B 选项的 soft tissue 和 hard shells 的比较原文未提到;D 选项的 fossil shells 和 fossil skeletons 的比较原文也未提到。
