Of the three options given, a cast fossil would look most like an ancient organism. A cast fossil is also called a mold fossil. It is formed when an organism dies and its flesh decays. Subsequently, the bones will deteriorate due to chemical reactions and minerals will progressively enter into the cavity, resulting in a cast.
