Solution

The correct option is A True
Petroleum is formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms die, their bodies settle down at the bottom of the sea and is covered with layers of sand and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high temperature and high pressure transforms the dead organisms into petroleum.
