Organisms with hard parts stand a good chance of being fossilized if they are___

A. rapidly decomposed by bacteria

B. slowly buried by sediments

C. rapidly eaten by scavengers

D. rapidly buried by sediments (my answer)

D is the correct answer. The fast it takes for them to be buried the more common it is that they will become fossilized.

B is not true because the longer it takes, the less likely it will be fossilized, this is because it could possibly be moved the longer its there.
