Some important metamorphic rocks types are gneiss ('nice'), schist ('shist'), and slate. ... Gneiss is a metamorphic rock, which forms through recrystallization of pre-existing rocks under high temperature and pressure (high grade metamorphism). During metamorphosis the rock remains completely solid, and pressure is often anisotropic. So it the answer is B: Metamorphic grade.
