Solution

The correct option is B rock cycle
Transformation of rocks from one form to another is called the rock cycle. For example, molten magma cools and becomes an igneous rock. It then breaks down into sediments and then forms a sedimentary rock under great pressure. The same rock can become a metamorphic rock when subjected to great heat and pressure.
