Answer:

Option B, granitic and basaltic minerals

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most common rock form is granite that is found in abundance in earth crust. The common minerals in granite that are found in earth’s crust are – quartz, mica, hornblende and fledspar. Basalt is a volcanic rock that forms after the cooling of lava. After weathering, the basalt is broken down into small fine pieces known as soil. Soil is the top most layer of earth crust and hence The Earth's crust is principally composed of both granite and basalt minerals.

Option B is correct.
