AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Fossilization**: Fossilization is the process through which the remains of plants and animals are preserved in a hard, petrified form. This process typically occurs under specific conditions that prevent decay and allow for the preservation of organic material. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Animals are varied and preserved by natural process." - This statement is correct. Fossilization occurs when the remains of animals are preserved through natural processes, such as burial in sediment, which protects them from decay. - **Option 2**: "Animals are destroyed by scavengers." - This statement is incorrect. If scavengers destroy the remains of animals, then there would be no material left to fossilize. - **Option 3**: "Animals are eaten by predators." - This statement is also incorrect. If animals are consumed by predators, their remains are not available for fossilization. - **Option 4**: "Animals are destroyed by environmental conditions." - This statement is incorrect as well. Harsh environmental conditions can lead to decay rather than preservation, preventing fossilization. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only correct option is the first one, which states that fossilization occurs when animals are varied and preserved by natural processes. **Final Answer**: Fossilization can occur where animals are varied and preserved by natural processes. ---
