The fossil fuel among the options provided is natural gas.
Explanation:
1. Fossil fuels are natural resources formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They are non-renewable sources of energy.
2. Natural gas is considered a fossil fuel because it is formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure over time, leading to the formation of natural gas deposits underground.
3. Natural gas is a widely used energy source for heating, electricity generation, and transportation due to its relatively clean burning characteristics compared to other fossil fuels like coal or oil.
In summary, among the options given, natural gas is the fossil fuel since it is derived from organic matter from the distant past and fits the criteria of being a non-renewable energy source.
