Solution

The correct option is C granite
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed due to cooling of molten lava deep inside the earth. Since they cool down slowly they form large grains. Granite is an example of intrusive igneous rock. To prepare paste/powder of spices and grains, granite is used as a grinding stone.
