C Correct answer
Explanation

The clue for this sentence lies in 'bone fragments' and 'fossil creature'. This implies that a fossil creature is constructed from few bone fragments and this is an impossible job. As 'array' in (1) means to place in order and 'contrive' in (2) means to invent, these options are improbable, hence (1) and (2) are ruled out.  Out of (3) and (4), 'reconstruct' in (3) fits our prediction as fossil creature is to be constructed again from bone fragments, whereas 'create' is used for new inventions. Hence, (3) is the answer.
