How do organisms form carbon films?

Answer
A
Organisms turn into rock.
B
Residue is left on rocks when organisms decay.
C
Hollow forms are left in sediment by decaying organisms.
D
Organisms leave evidence of their activities, such as footprints.

Explanation

Carbon films form when an organism is buried and its softer parts decay or are squeezed away, leaving a thin layer of carbon residue on the rock. This matches choice B. Organisms turning into rock describes a different kind of fossil, while hollow forms and footprints are also other types of fossil evidence.
