Which statement best compares a trace fossil to a fossil that forms as a result of an entire organism being trapped in amber?

A trace fossil records an organism’s activity, such as footprints, which can reveal its size. An organism trapped in amber may be preserved with its body structure intact, so its size can also be studied. Trace fossils do not show the organism’s exact structure, and amber preservation does not require hard parts to dissolve or involve imprints in sediment.
