Answer: B. Igneous rocks

The correct answer is B) Igneous rocks. While sedimentary rocks cover much of the Earth's surface like a thin skin, 95% of the total crust is made of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed directly from the cooling of molten magma or lava. Because they are the original material from which all other rocks are eventually made, they are often called "parent rocks.
