Correct Answer - Option 3 : fossil

Fosils are the remains of dead plants and animals buried in the layers of rocks.

Fossils and the process of their formation:

  • Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms.
  • Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks. 
  • A fossil can preserve an entire organism or just part of one. Bones, shells, feathers, and leaves can all become fossils. 
  • Fossils can be very large or very small. Microfossils are only visible with a microscope. 
  • Bacteria and pollen are microfossils. 
  • Macrofossils can be several meters long and weigh several tons.
  • Macrofossils can be petrified trees or dinosaur bones.
  • Preserved remains become fossils if they reach an age of about 10,000 years

Hence, the fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient animals and plants
