Answer 2

d)Dead and decayed animals and plants sedimented over millions of years

• Dead plant matter decomposes into peat, which is then transformed into coal by heat and pressure from deep burial over millions of years. 
• The vast majority of the world's tropical land areas were covered by coal forests, or former wetlands, during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian periods. 
• The vast majority of the world's tropical land areas were covered by coal forests, or former wetlands, during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian periods.  Many large coal deposits, meanwhile, come from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras, which are much younger than this.
• Fuel is the main application for coal. Although coal has been used for thousands of years, there were few uses for it before the Industrial Revolution. 
• The development of the steam engine led to an increase in coal use. In 2020, coal provided over a third of the world's power and approximately a quarter of its primary energy.

Hence, the correct answer is d.
