Solution

The correct option is B Foraminiferan shells
Foraminifera (informally known as forams) are the protists closely related to studies of petroleum bearing rocks.
Ciliates fossils are rarely found, very few have been found in amber.
Cellular slime moulds have a nil fossil record. The fossils of diatoms (not true fossils) are diatomaceous earth.
The correct answer is C.
