B
The amount of fossil fuels formed is approximately the same as the amount used.
C
The amount of fossil fuels formed is much less than the amount used.
D
The amount of fossil fuels formed is greater than the amount used.

Explanation

Fossil fuels form over millions of years from buried organic matter, so only a very small amount is produced in any one year. People extract and burn them far faster than natural processes can replace them. Therefore, the amount formed each year is much less than the amount used each year.
