The best statement that describes how the energy of the Earth's interior contributes to the formation of rocks on its surface is:

A.) the energy in the earth interior melts rock creating magma which causes rock when it reaches the surface.

This statement accurately explains that the heat from the Earth's interior can cause rocks to melt into magma. When this magma reaches the surface, it can cool and crystallize to form igneous rocks.
