Answer:

(Correct option is 2) crystallization of molten material inside Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of rocks found on the surface of the earth sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Rocks which have hardened with the help of magma, and the hot liquid below the earth crust is known as igneous rocks.

Igneous rock is defined as a rock which is synthesized by the crystallization, and hardening of molten material which originates from the inside of the Earth. It is basically two types:

1) Extrusive rocks.

2) Intrusive rocks.
