Solution

The correct options are
A fault traps
D anticlines
Petroleum is found in the anticlines or domes and fault traps in the rocks that are from the tertiary age. These rocks are nothing but layered sedimentary rocks. Petroleum is trapped in the porous layer sandwiched between two non-porous layers. The oil can flow through this porous layer, while the two non porous layers prevent the oil from rising or sinking.
