Answer

C. Ocean processes produce large amounts of fossil fuels over many years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans are the major beneficiaries of fossil fuel. These fossil fuels are formed from decomposing plants and animals. Fossil fuels undergo series of reactions in the ocean which include microbial actions and other complex chemical reactions. These occurs with a build up of it over a long period of time.The fossil fuel formed aren’t usually easily useable and they include natural gas, coal , crude oil etc.

This explains how Ocean processes produce large amounts of fossil fuels over many years.
