Answer:

The first, third, and fourth options are correct.

Explanation:

The rock cycle is a fundamental concept of geology that describes the various transitory phases of rocks which could be sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous. Wind and water cause such rocks to undergo changes leading to the rock cycle. Metamorphic rocks are transformed to magma by melting which are cooled to obtain igneous rocks while melting igneous rocks produces magma.

Similarly, igneous rocks undergo erosion to get transformed to sedimentary rocks while such sedimentary rocks get transformed to metamorphic rocks by the exposure to heat and pressure.

Therefore, the first, third, and fourth options above are correct.
