it is made up of porous materials
it traps the deposits inside them
it has pores large enough to allow absorption
it only allows certain materials to pass through

Answer 1

The statement that best describes an impermeable rock where oil and natural gas deposits are found is: "it traps the deposits inside them."

Impermeable rocks, often referred to as cap rocks or sealing rocks, are characteristics of formations that have a high ability to prevent the movement of fluids, thus trapping oil and natural gas beneath them. They are typically non-porous or have very low permeability, which stops the fluids from migrating further upward.
