Solution

The correct option is C Both physical and chemical alterations of peat
Physical alterations of peat create the pressure and make the environment suitable for coal formation. Chemical alterations, on the other hand, lead to the accumulation of peat and prevents it from bacterial decay. Thus, both these processes help in the coal formation.
