(a) extrusive igneous rock
(b) intrusive igneous rock
(c) metamorphic rock
(d) sedimentary rock

The sedimentary rocks are the rocks that are suitable for the trapping of oil and natural gases. These are found to be present in the pore spaces of the rocks below the surface of the earth that are formed at different pressure and temperature conditions. The natural gases that are present in the interconnected pore spaces are methane, ethane, propane, and butane and they are basically found in association with the natural gases that collectively form the oil.

Some examples of sedimentary rocks that comprise these gas and oil are sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks are a type of reservoir that stores these fossilized products.

Thus, the sedimentary bedrocks contains these oil and gas deposits.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
