  • A. Intrusive
  • B. Protolith
  • C. Diagenesis
  • D. Extrusive
Correct Answer: Option B - Metamorphic rocks– It is fundamentally rocks that have experience change due to high pressure and temperature below zone of diagenesis. • Protolith refers to the initial rock, prior to metamorphism, in shallow grade metamorphic rocks, original texture are often protecting allowing one to determine the likely protolith.
