Answer 7

@KendrickLamar2014 # 1 is B, because an organism's remains can be preserved by fast freezing or being quickly buried by sediment. Another common process occurs after burial include chemical alteration or replacement and compaction. My fellow friend @Destinymasha was right. While #2 is also B, because petrification" is used in normal discussion, but this carries the implication that ALL of the fossil has been mineralized. This is sometimes the case, but more often minerals entrap original organic matter of the organism. Also my fellow friend @HelpBlahBlahBlah is right.
