    The choices are:

    A) Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

    B) The bodies of organisms get preserved due to the dry weather conditions in the state.

    C) The bodies of the organisms were preserved as lava from ancient volcanoes solidified into rock.

    D) The erosion caused by the flooding of the Mississippi River ensures that the bodies of the organisms are well preserved.

    Answer:

    The answer is letter A, Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

    Explanation:

    "Fossils" are regarded as the organism's preserved remains. The remains of ancient organisms are embedded into the "sedimentary rocks." These rocks are comprised of layers of sediments or organic particles that settle into the earth or ocean.

    In the situation above, the remains or fossils of whales and other organisms were embedded or deposited into the sediments in the river beds. This explains why their fossils were found in the southern parts of Mississippi.
