The correct answer is "Tree sap flows over the insect and hardens".

Explanation:

The tree sap, amber in color, flows over the insects and preserves them, conserving them in such a way that part of their cellular structure and even fragments of their DNA can be found intact. The resin, draining over the bark of trunks and branches, managed to trap insects as it hardened over time, becoming amber. The hardened amber stone can preserve the softest parts of any insect, keeping it completely intact over time.

Have a nice day!
