Answer 1

Sedimentary rocks are the kind of rocks which will contain the remains of aquatic plants and animals.

Explanation:

• Sedimentary rocks are the most common kind of rocks on which sediments or fossils are formed.
• We infer from these rocks that the remains of animals and plants that had died a million years ago were preserved in these rocks.
