Correct answer: C. wood

  • A. animals
  • B. fossils
  • C. wood
  • D. all of the above

Explanation

Wood is the primary source material for coal. Decaying woody tissues from ancient forests and swamps undergo the necessary chemical and physical changes to become coal over long periods. Coal is formed from the remains of plant material, mainly trees and other vegetation, that undergo a process called coalification over an extended period of time. The process involves the decomposition and transformation of plant matter under conditions of heat and pressure, eventually forming peat, lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite
