Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

This reflects the processes of weathering and erosion that can break down all three types of rocks into smaller particles or sediments, which can later be compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
