An artifact is any object made or modified by humans for a specific purpose. The other options do not accurately describe objects made or altered by humans, as ecofacts are natural objects that have been used by humans, fossils are the remains of living things, tools are a subset of artifacts, and manufacts is not a commonly used term in archaeology.
