Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bones and shells are hard structures made of minerals, which are more likely to preserve as fossils than soft tissues like organs or leaves/stems. Additionally, land-dwelling organisms are typically more likely to be buried and preserved than those that live in water, so option C is not the best choice. While a complete large organism would be an excellent find, it is not as likely to be preserved intact as a hard structure like a bone or shell.
