Answer:

(C) Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock, formed essentially of skeletal pieces of aquatic organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. Its primary elements are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are various crystal formations of calcium carbonate. Approximately 10% of sedimentary rocks are limestone's.
