I believe that the areas are tropical and polar zones.
Sponges are organisms that are members of phylum prolifera, they are simple multicellular animals without a mouth, muscles, heart or brain.Sponges's tissues contains collar cells and amoebaocytes in its tissues. They feed by drawing water in through their pores and filter out food particles. Sponge larvae are more animal-like than adult sponges because they are free-swimming organisms.
The answer is hard tissue.
Usually, hard tissue, such as bones and teeth or exoskeleton is much more preserved than soft tissue (organs, skin, etc.). Fossils become fossils by a process of mineralization. Hard tissues are more mineralized during life than organs. So it is no surprise that hard tissues take part in the process of mineralization and is preserved in fossils, unlike soft tissues.
I think it’s F, c, and a.
