Solution

The correct option is A Igneous rock
Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust. Igneous rocks occur in a wide range of geological settings: shields, platforms, extended crust, basins, and oceanic crust.
