The phrase is incorrect and does not make much sense. 

Following the options we can understand that the correct word here would be the adverb 'conclusively' followed with the verb 'proves.' The word 'that' is mandatory after it to state what was proved.

Thus only option B fulfills the condition here.

Option A is incorrect as the adverb is missing.

Option C is incorrectly structured.

The correct sentence is: Palaeontological evidence conclusively proves that the surface of the earth has been$ occupied by vegetative forms of increasing complexity$
