When magma cools during the rock cycle, igneous rock is formed. The process occurs either when magma cools beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock) or when it erupts onto the surface (extrusive igneous rock) and cools quickly. The other options you mentioned do not correctly describe what happens during the cooling of magma.
