Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Metamorphic rocks form from igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. The agents that change pre-existing rocks are heat, pressure, and chemical activity. Sediments form sedimentary rocks; magma forms igneous rocks.

Answer:

C) igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every rock can become a metamorphic rock (ignorant, sedimentary, or metamorphic). Once rocks are buried deep within the Earth at extreme temperatures and pressures, they can form new materials and textures without melting. As melting happens magma is formed, beginning the rock cycle again.

Hence, option C is correct
