Solution

The correct option is B igneous rocks
The igneous rocks are called primary rocks because these were originated first of all rocks during the formation of the upper crust of the earth on cooling, solidification, and crystallization of hot and liquid magmas after the origin of the earth. Thus, all the subsequent rocks were formed, whether directly or indirectly, from the igneous rocks in one way or the other.
