A - is incorrect because it's only describing one rock which is the igneous rock. Any rock that forms from the cooling of magma is an igneous rock

B- incorrect It's not the tracing of rocks through the four spheres of Earth.

C- correct It's the continuous processes by which rocks change form.Which means the rocks change throughout the cycle.

D- incorrect the weathering, erosion, and deposition of rocks is not the rock cycle weathering is The chemical and physical processes that break down rock at Earth's surface. erosion The process by which water, ice, wind,or gravity moves weathered rock or soil. deposition The process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.
