{'humus': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'soil': [7, 0, 4, 7], 'fossil': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'plants': [11, 0, 4, 4], 'fertilizers': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'organic matters': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'special growth': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'rocks': [9, 0, 3, 15]}

Humus is a type of decaying organic matter found in soil. It is formed from the decomposition of plant and animal material. Humus is an important component of soil as it helps to improve its fertility and structure. It provides nutrients to plants and promotes their growth.

Option 1: Fossil seen on rocks is not the correct explanation of humus. Humus is not a fossil, but rather a result of organic material breaking down in soil.

Option 3: Fertilizers applied in soil is not the correct explanation of humus. Humus is a natural component of soil, whereas fertilizers are artificial substances added to soil to provide specific nutrients to plants.

Option 4: Special growth found in plants is not the correct explanation of humus. Humus is not a growth found in plants, but rather a material found in soil.

Overall, option 2 - decaying organic matter in soil is the correct explanation of what humus is.
