D) melting and soliditation
Step-by-step explanation:
Granite is a type of grainy (medium-coarse) igneous rock. These are formed from quartz, alkali feldspar and trace minerals along with plagioclase. Rocks like quartz, form a crystal from magma or as a precipitate near hydrothermal vents.
A type of intrusive igneous rock, granite is formed from its constituents when it molten rock cooled. Larger mineral crystals are associated with slower cooling over time.
