CBiogas
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (A) Fossil fuel

Inorganic fuel is not the term for such organically derived deposits.
Biogas is made fresh from decaying waste, not formed underground over ages.

Coal, petroleum and natural gas are the main fossil fuels.
They took millions of years to form under great heat and pressure.
