Solution

The correct option is B rocks

Lithification is the process by which sediments combine to form sedimentary rocks. Compaction is a consolidation of sediments due to the intense pressing weight of overlying deposits. With compaction, sediment grains get squished together, reducing the size of the original pore space that divided them.
