Answer:

Heat and/or pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the shortest path because any rock that is placed under extreme heat and pressure (this usually occurs underground, which takes a little bit under half a million years) can become metamorphic. Otherwise, the rock would have to go through the entirety of the rock cycle.
