Solution

The correct option is C fossils
When dead plants get buried into the bottom of the soil they are slowly converted into coal due to high pressure and high temperature. Heat and pressure produced chemical and physical changes in the plant layers which forced out oxygen and left rich carbon deposits. In time, material that had been plants became coal.
Coal is formed from plants and animals that died millions of years ago.
