Answer: igneous - 'A' and 'F'

Sedimentary - 'B' and 'D'

Metamorphic - 'C' and 'E'

Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rock is formed by cooling of lava or magma. It has a shiny surface

throughout.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by deposition of material at the Earth's surface or in the bodies of water and can be made of layers that are weathered relatively easily.

Metamorphic rocks are formed by arises from transformation of existing rocks and it is formed due to high pressure and temperature.

Hence, igneous - 'A' and 'F'

Sedimentary - 'B' and 'D'

Metamorphic - 'C' and 'E'
