Solution

The correct option is B Marble
Limestone, Sandstone, and Shale are examples of sedimentary rocks but Marble is an example of metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary Rocks - These rocks are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of minerals or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface.
Metamorphic rocks - When the physical and chemical properties of the existing rocks get changed due to high heat and pressure, then metamorphic rocks are formed. Marble, slate are examples of metamorphic rocks.
