The correct answer is **c. melting followed by cooling**.
In the rock cycle, metamorphic rock can become igneous rock through the process of melting, where the metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures that cause it to melt into magma. Once the magma cools, it solidifies to form igneous rock.
