Solution

The correct option is B Marble
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism. Under the conditions of metamorphism, the calcite in the limestone recrystallizes to form a rock that is a mass of interlocking calcite crystals.
