The answer to this is B. anthracite coal. Organic matter gradually turns into coal over many years of high pressure and temperature under the earth. The lowest form of coal is peat (where it is still recognizably plant matter), followed by lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, then bituminous coal, then anthracite. These are also ordered from lowest to highest composition of carbon.
