D Correct answer
Explanation

Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediment that accumulate and compress, creating ideal conditions for fossil preservation. Organisms get buried in sediment before hardening into rock. Metamorphic rocks undergo intense heat and pressure that destroy fossils, while igneous rocks like granite form from molten material that would burn organic remains.
