It is an absolutely true statement that metamorphic rocks that melt in a hot fluid can re-crystallize into a different form of rock. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option. It is hard to melt a metamorphic rock but as it is melted and then cooled, it will create a new crystal.

Answer:

The statement 'metamorphic rocks' that melt in a 'hot fluid' can re-crystallize into a 'different form of rock' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The metamorphic rock is extremely hard to melt.
  • It is because in the course of its formation, it is already subjected to extreme 'pressure and heat' which results in the hyping up of its melting point.
  • When the metamorphic rock finally melts, it no more remains subject to metamorphism. It rather completely recrystallizes to form igneous rock.
