The correct answer is under dry land and under the ocean. Crude oil is found in underground reservoirs beneath dry land and beneath the ocean floor. To find this answer, you could have thought about the process of crude oil formation, which involves the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years. This organic matter, such as plankton and algae, accumulates on the ocean floor and is then covered by sediment. Over time, heat and pressure transform this organic matter into crude oil. Similarly, organic matter on dry land, such as plants and animals, can also undergo this process and form underground reservoirs of crude oil.
