Answer: The correct answer is: sand

Explanation: Organisms and other potential fossils must be quickly buried naturally so that they do not decompose in a short time. Some of the most common materials are: mud, silt, resin and ashes. Bones, shells and exoskeletons are the remains of organisms that survive decay long enough to be fossilized.
