Solution

The correct option is A Large teeth
Fossilization or taphonomy is the process that occurs when plant and animal remains are preserved in sedimentary rock. Fossilization occurs after an organism dies and only affects hard body parts, such as bones and shells. Over time, the sediment hardens, and the shell dissolves away, leaving a mold of itself.
So, the correct answer is "Organisms are buried and preserved by natural processes".
