Option one

Explanation:

• Fossil is the structure which is formed from the dead and decaying organisms after the decomposition has been complete.

• However the formation of fossils take a large amount of time.

• For the formation of fossil the soft tissue which are present in the body usually disintegrates however the hard tissue of the body consists of calcium and they take much much longer time to disintegrate. Hence only the hard tissue remains preserved within the soil.
