Question Options:

Oolitic limestone

Gi'eywvacke

Mudstone

Conglomerate

Answer: CONGLOMERATE

Explanation: Conglomerate is a rock consisting of grave or pebbles embedded in a matrix. Conglomerates typically contain finer grained sediment, e.g., either sand, silt, clay or combination of them. It takes a strong water current to transport and produce a rounded shape on particles in conglomerate.
