Solution

The correct option is A Sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the aggregation and deposition of small rock particles transported by rivers, glaciers, and wind, towards low-lying areas. This process results in the formation of multiple layers of sediment. The upper layers exert heavy pressure on the lower layers. This leads to compaction of material and development of sedimentary rocks.
