Answer:

mold fossil

Step-by-step explanation:

The cavity in the rock is a kind of fossil called a mold. Molds are holes shaped like leaves, feathers, wings, or other things that used to be living.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The type of fossil that is formed when minerals fill in an impression left by an organism is called a cast fossil. It is formed when an animal, plant, or other organism dies, its flesh decays and bones deteriorate due to chemical reactions.
