Answer:

B) weathering and erosion

Step-by-step explanation:

The two processes responsible for changing metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks is weathering and erosion.

Weathering is the defined as the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Erosion is the removal of weathered materials from the surface of the earth.

The process of erosion and weathering serves to convert igneous and metamorphic rocks into sediments by which a sedimentary rock is formed.
