Answer:

The correct answer is extrusive rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Extrusive rocks are above or near the earth's surface. Igneous or magmatic rocks are those that form when magma cools and solidifies. If cooling occurs slowly beneath the surface, rocks form with large crystals called plutonic or intrusive rocks, while if cooling occurs rapidly above the surface, rocks form with crystals indistinguishable to the naked eye known as volcanic, effusive or extrusive rocks.

Have a nice day!
