Solution

The correct option is C Fossil of ammonite
Ammonites are an extinct group of marine invertebrate animals of the class Cephalopoda. These molluscs are more closely related to living coleoids (i.e., octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish). Ammonites are index fossils. Their fossil shells usually take the form of planispirals.
