Answer:

Diamonds cam form in the mantle because of the impact of the weight of the overlying rock which bears down on it, in combination with the high temperature of the area where they are formed (about 100 miles beneath the surface). Therefore, the correct answer is option D. The weight of the rocks above the mantle results in high pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

because of the impact of the weight of the overlying rock which bears down on it, in combination with the high temperature of the area where they are formed (about 100 miles beneath the surface)
