Sagot :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Fossilization Resin is a orange fossil that holds the thing that is being fossilized.

The student is looking at a C. Fossilization Resin (amber).

Fossilization resin or amber:

  • is secreted by trees when they get damaged so as to avoid infection
  • fossilizes a dead animal specimen when it surrounds the specimen and hardens

Amber has a bright orange color and is capable of perfectly preserving a dead animal or plant specimen just like it did to the insect being looked at by the student.

Amber has also been used for other things as well such as jewelry. This hardness and bright orange color leads to the conclusion that the insect specimen in question was indeed fossilized by resin.
