Solution

The correct option is D

Amber fossil


Such fossils where the entire body is preserved within a resin casket and then slowly dries and turns into fossil are termed as amber fossils.

Amber is a fossil resin, produced by conifers. It emerges from trees as defence against damage and while still soft and sticky can catch and enclose insects.
