c. Evaporation and/or precipitation.
Chemical (crystalline) sedimentary rocks form when minerals precipitate from solution (including by evaporation concentrating the solution). Compaction and cementation are the main lithification processes for clastic sediments, and dissolving removes material rather than producing the deposits.
