because most organisms have bones, shells, and teeth
because bacteria break down bones, shells, and teeth the fastest
because bones, shells, and teeth decay slower than other body parts

Answer 1

Answer:

the last one

Explanation:

For an organism to become a fossil, it must not decompose or be eaten. ... When an organism is buried quickly, there is less decay and the better the chance for it to be preserved. The hard parts of organisms, such as bones, shells, and teeth have a better chance of becoming fossils than do softer parts.
