• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(B) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

Petroleum is classified as a “fossil fuel” since it is made entirely from the remains of old organic matter. Statement (B) provides the precise scientific explanation for this classification by describing how prehistoric marine plants and organisms died, were buried beneath layers of sediment, and were gradually transformed into liquid hydrocarbons over millions of years due to intense underground heat and pressure.
