Which of the following correctly describes the fossil fuel coal?

• forms underground from plant material that has been subjected to high heat and pressure

• A liquid fossil fuel formed from marine organisms that is burned to obtain energy and used in the manufacture of plastics.

• energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
