Question

in which type of geological formation would you most likely find petroleum?
granite outcrops
metamorphic rock layers
sedimentary basins
igneous rock formations

Explanation:

Petroleum forms from organic matter in sedimentary basins. These basins provide the right conditions (pressure, temperature, and time) for organic material to transform into hydrocarbons. Granite outcrops (igneous), metamorphic rock layers, and igneous rock formations lack the organic - rich environment and proper geological processes for significant petroleum accumulation.

Answer:

C. sedimentary basins
