A student wants to extract energy from fossil fuels. Which process would help him to extract the energy from fossil fuel?

• A fossil fuel is a fuel that is generated by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead creatures, and contains organic molecules that were formed during ancient photosynthesis and release energy when burned.
• Coal, oil, and natural gas are three forms of fossil fuels that may all be used to generate energy.
• Fossil fuels can be burnt (oxidised to carbon dioxide and water) and provide substantial quantities of energy per unit mass
• So Burning is answer
