Answer:

The correct answer is option A (Dead plants and animals).

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon-containing materials like natural gas, fuel oil, coal which act as a source of energy. These fossil fuels are formed from the remains of dead animals and plants of Carboniferous Period about 360 to 286 million years ago.

At that time the remains of plants and animals along with micro-organisms were decayed which were later covered by sand and silt and trapped it under the rocks. Over time heat and pressure compressed it and changed it into coal, oil and some trapped pockets of gases known as natural gas.

Thus, option A (Dead plants and animals) is the correct answer.

Natural and artificial selection depend on genetic and phenotypic variation. In natural selection, the selective pressure comes
otez555 [7]
<h2>B) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

In artificial selection, breeders select superior breed for the breeding purpose so that this type of selection favors the superior genotype and eliminates inferior genotype, thus leading to genetic drift

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which intermediate genotype is favored but extreme genotypes (inferior and superior) are eliminated

In the given example of pigmentation in pigeons, breeding is selectively done with intermediate pigmentation hence intermediate genotypes will be favored
