Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fossilized mushroom spores are more likely to be found than the other options because they can be preserved in certain conditions, such as being trapped in amber or sediment layers. Other options like animals that were victims of predators, flowers that produce a single seed, jellyfish, and animals that lived on steep slopes are less likely to fossilize due to various factors such as the soft body structure that decomposes quickly, the rarity of the organism, or the environmental conditions not being conducive to fossilization.
