Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is sedimentary rock. Fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rocks because these rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediment over time. Sedimentary rocks often contain layers or beds that can preserve fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains or traces of plants and animals become trapped in sediment and are eventually preserved by the pressure and minerals in the sedimentary rock. So, to find fossils, one should look for sedimentary rocks.
