Question

Responses

A. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of compaction and cementation.
B. Only igneous and metamorphic rocks can become sediments after years of compaction and cementation.
C. Only igneous and metamorphic rocks can become sediments after years of erosion.
D. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all become sediments after years of erosion.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

This option accurately reflects that all three types of rocks can undergo erosion to break down into sediments, which can then become sedimentary rocks through compaction and cementation.
