Solution

The correct option is B False
Fossil fuels are formed when dead plants and animals undergo decomposition under high pressure and temperature for a long period of time.

Petroleum is formed when dead sea organisms undergo decomposition at high temperature and pressure. Petrol, diesel and kerosene are products that are obtained by refining petroleum. Hence, kerosene is also a fossil fuel.
