What should a model of the rock cycle show as the process that changes metamorphic rock to igneous rock?

A. Weathering followed by erosion
B. Compaction followed by cementation
C. Melting followed by cooling
D. Heating followed by pressure

The correct answer is:

C. Melting followed by cooling

In the rock cycle, metamorphic rock can change into igneous rock through the process of melting, where it transforms into magma, and then cooling once it solidifies again.
