Solution

The correct option is B Sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks are made up of grains of sediment that have been weathered from a pre-existing rock or mineral. The grains can be big or small, they are often rounded, and are cemented together in a matrix. Sedimentary rocks may be layered and may also contain fossils.
