The correct answer is **rapid burial and hard parts**.
For an organism to become a fossil, it is essential that it is buried quickly after death, which helps protect it from decomposition and scavenging. Additionally, having hard parts (like bones, teeth, or shells) increases the likelihood of fossilization since these materials are more durable than soft tissues.
