Question

Statement 1: Fossilisation is a fast process.
Statement 2: Plants can never form fossils.

• A. Only 1 is correct
• B. Both are correct
• C. Both are incorrect
• D. Only 2 is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both are incorrect

Fossils are defined as the remains or traces of organisms that died more than 10,000 years ago. Therefore, by definition the minimum time it takes to make a fossil is 10,000 years. Thus, fossilization is a slow process. All organisms including plants can undergo fossilization if conditions are right.
