Answer:

A) igneous rock

Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rock is formed when molten rock from underground moves to the surface.

There are three types of rock

1. Igneous rock: This is formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies.

2. Sedimentary rock: As the name implies, it is formed by the coming together of small particles such as gravel, sand, silt, or clay.

Metamorphic rock: This is a rock formed from existing rock. It is formed by the gradual disintegration of existing rocks caused by heat or pressure.
