Answer: B. Quartzite

The correct answer is B) Quartzite.
Quartzite is a tough, non-foliated metamorphic rock that forms when sandstone is subjected to intense heat and pressure. During this process, the individual quartz grains in the sandstone recrystallize and fuse together, creating a dense and highly durable rock.
