Fossil fuels, petroleum and natural gas are found in sedimentary rocks.

These types of traps are formed by rock folding. Specifically, a bed of low-permeability shale-covered sandstone is folded into a trap containing petroleum products. Hydrocarbons are trapped at the crest of this fold. The opening of each Tethys Ocean was accompanied by extensional tectonics that created continental rifts during the Infracambrian (Ediacaran-Cambrian transition period), Ordovician, and Permian time in the Middle East. . These rift basins add favorable locations for petroleum production in the region. Tectonic activity - With tectonic activity over millions of years, the Tethys Ocean eroded and the Middle East was transformed into a dry, sandy desert. This exposed the upper layers containing the largest amount of oil and natural gas deposits.

KengaRu [80]
The correct answer is B Subduction. Subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate gets dragged under another plate and is eventually destroyed in the mantle. Subduction occurs at convergent margins where two oceanic plates collide or an oceanic and Continental plate collide. Oceanic crust is made of mainly of silica and magnesium which is heavier or denser than continental crust which is composed mainly of silica and aluminium.
The subducting plate melts producing excess magma giving rise to volcanoes along these margins.
