The correct statement is: Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of erosion.
This is because any type of rock can break down into smaller particles (sediments) through the process of weathering and erosion, regardless of whether it is igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary. These sediments can then be compacted and cemented over time to form new sedimentary rocks.
