Answer:

D

Explanation:

Crude oils, shale, and natural gas are some of the fossil fuels formed in this way. They are specially formed when vast amounts of algae die and sink to the bottom of the oceans over time and accumulate with sediments. They become buried under vast layers of sediments that apply high pressure. Over time, the high pressure and temperature turn the organic molecules into fossil fuels.
