Answer:

C. Preserved remains or impressions of plant, animal or other organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fossil record is a collection of fossils documenting the history of life on Earth. These fossils can teach us about an extinct organism's size, shape, and/or behavior. The fossil record helps paleontologists, archaeologists, and geologists place important events and species in the appropriate geologic era. A fossil record is not limited to insects trapped in amber or bones, and is not simply an archaeologist's notes.

hope this helps!
