The correct statement about the rocks at this location is:
C The metamorphic rock and sedimentary rock were already at this location and magma flowed into the other rocks.
This option correctly explains how different rock types can coexist at the same location, suggesting that the igneous rock may have formed from magma that intruded into existing metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
