Solution

The correct option is A True
Answer is A.

The fossil fuels we use today are actually formed from plants and animals that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. Coal and petroleum are made of dead matter buried under the earth for many years. The dead and decaying matter under great amount of pressure and temperatures turn into fossils and they both are used as fuels, called fossil fuels.
Hence, the given statement is true.
