The correct answer is B) Igneous rock.
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma (molten rock beneath the Earth's surface) or lava (molten rock on the Earth's surface). When magma or lava cools and crystallizes, it creates igneous rocks.
There are two main types of igneous rocks: 1. Intrusive (or plutonic) igneous rocks - These form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, creating large crystal structures. Examples include granite.
- Extrusive (or volcanic) igneous rocks - These form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, creating smaller crystals or even glass-like rocks. Examples include basalt and obsidian.
To break down the other options: - Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments - Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are transformed by heat and pressure - Organic rocks are formed from the remains of living organisms
So, igneous rocks specifically form from the cooling of magma or lava, making B the correct answer.
