Answer: Plankton

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuels such as oils and natural gas are fossil fuels that is burnt to obtain energy. Old and dead organic matter( plankton, biomass, plants and animals) gets buried deep inside the ocean and compression takes takes place for over many years.

This process helps in the formation of the fossil fuels such as oils and natural gas. Its extraction takes place by squeezing of plankton.

Oil and natural gas were created by the squeezing of Plankton over millions of years. Oil & Gas were formed (over millions of years) from organic matter like plankton, plants and other life forms. Over time, sand, sediment and rock buried the organic matter and it eventually formed large quantities of fuels.
