Solution

The correct option is A Natural gas
Natural gas is also known as swamp gas or marsh gas. It is a fossil fuel formed millions of years ago, along with petroleum by the decomposition of dead microscopic plants and animals buried under sand and mud. These plants and animals underwent anaerobic fermentation and were converted to natural gas. Swamp gas is usually found trapped between impervious rocks.
