Answer: A. Granite

The correct answer is A) Granite. When magma is trapped deep underground, it is insulated and cools very slowly over thousands of years. This slow cooling gives mineral crystals enough time to grow large and visible to the eye. Rocks formed this way are called intrusive igneous rocks. Unlike granite, rocks like shale or sandstone are formed from layers of sediment, not cooling magma.
