B.
Coal results from the compressed remains of plant matter, while oil is the compressed remains of marine organisms. Coal was made due to pressure and heat under buried layers of rock over millions of years, while oil was made by heating the compressed remains from magma underneath.

C.
Coal results from the compressed remains of plant matter, while oil is the compressed remains of marine organisms. Oil was made due to pressure and heat under buried layers of rock over millions of years, while coal was made by heating the compressed remains from magma underneath.

Answer 13

Here's an explanation/hint for your answer.

Both coal and oil are fossil fuels. That means they’re formed from organic matter – stuff that was alive on Earth millions of years ago – that was covered by heavy layers of rock. Over time, the increased pressures and heat resulting from the overlying rock transformed the decomposed matter to coal or oil.
