Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of erosion.

This is accurate because all three types of rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion. These sediments can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
