The true statement is:
**Imprints of leaves or footprints in sedimentary rock are fossils.**
Fossils are remains or traces of ancient life, and imprints in sedimentary rock qualify as fossil evidence. The other statements are incorrect as they either misrepresent what constitutes a fossil or refer to recent remains that do not meet the typical criteria for fossils.
