Explanation:

Each option describes a valid fossil formation method: trace fossils like footprints turn to stone when filled with mud and lithified; amber (plant resin) and tar preserve specimens directly; permineralization/replacement replaces organic matter with minerals; and impression fossils form from organism decay remains. All are correct fossil types/formation processes.

All of the answer choices are correct.
