Answer:

D) Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Metamorphic rocks can be formed from igneous, sedimentary and even metamorphic rocks. The parents rocks are subjected under varied temperature and pressure to form metamorphic rocks. The changes may be new textures or mineral assemblage or both. The parents rocks which are converted to metamorphic rocks never melts . In other words the transformation takes place in it solid state.

The process of formation of metamorphic rocks is known as metamorphism. Example of metamorphic rocks is marble. The marble is formed when limestone a sedimentary rock metamorphosed.
