I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The correct order of steps in the formation of coal would be plant matter is buried by rocks and dirt → dead plants fall in swamp → layers of dead plants pile up → plant matter is compressed and is exposed to heat → coal forms. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
