The type of rock that can be made from the remains of microscopic organisms is C) Sandstone. Specifically, certain types of sandstone can be formed from the accumulation and compaction of the remains of microscopic organisms like diatoms or foraminifera.
However, if you are referring to a rock more specifically associated with microscopic organisms, limestone (not listed here) is often formed from the shells and skeletons of marine microorganisms.
If you're looking for the best answer among the options provided, while sandstone itself isn't specifically from microscopic organisms, it can originate from sediments that include organism remains. So the answer would be C) Sandstone, as it can be related to the processes involving microscopic remains.
