The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term "Bog":** - A bog is a type of wetland that accumulates peat, which is partially decayed plant material. Bogs are typically acidic and low in nutrients. 2. **Identifying the Plant Associated with Bogs:** - The primary plant associated with bogs is sphagnum moss. This moss is crucial in the formation of peat. 3. **Defining Fossil Fuels:** - Fossil fuels are natural substances formed from the remains of dead plants and animals that have been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Common types of fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas. 4. **Linking Sphagnum Moss to Fossil Fuels:** - When sphagnum moss decomposes in the anaerobic (low oxygen) conditions of a bog, it forms peat. Peat is an early stage in the formation of coal and is considered a type of fossil fuel. 5. **Conclusion:** - The fossilized fuel obtained from bogs, specifically from sphagnum moss, is called peat. 6. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "peat." ---
