Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Similarities: they are both formed from organic remains and both form under enormous pressures in a sedimentary sequence. Differences: coal is formed from land-based plants in bogs and coastal swamps, while oil and gas are derived from tiny marine organisms, such as algae and phytoplankton
