metamorphic
igneous

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can include the remains of plants and animals. Metamorphic rocks are formed from pre - existing rocks under high pressure and temperature, which often destroy fossils. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, and the high temperatures also destroy fossils. Plutonic rocks are a type of igneous rock. So, fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rocks.

Answer:

D. Sedimentary
