SEDIMENTARY
plant fossils IMPLY terrestrial origin. But many non plant fossils can be formed in terrestrial or marine environments. So the correct answer to this specific question is "sedimentary". If the teacher is looking for "marine" as an answer, then the question is poorly phrased. Many plants grow in marine environments too. Often the teacher is thinking of an answer when they write the question and don't always see that there are other interpretations and answers based on the reader's view.
