    C)  Statements I and II are true

    D)  Statements II and III are true

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      Coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. are fossil fuels. These are formed from the remains of dead organisms that were buried under the Earth?s crust over millions of years ago. Hence, statement I is correct. Fossil fuels are exhaustible natural resources because these are found in limited amounts. Excess use of fossil fuels causes global warming and depletion of these resources. Hence, statement II is correct. Earthquake is a natural phenomenon that is caused by the movement of tectonic plates under the Earth?s crust. It is not caused by excess use / burning of fossil fuels. Hence, statement III is incorrect. The correct answer is C.
