Answer:

The Rock is picture is Felsic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhyolites are volcanic rocks that are igneous. The main component of these rocks is Silica and based on silica content they are termed as Mafic, Felsic, Intermediate and ultramafic. Felsic rocks have the highest silica content (more than or approximately 65%) and are lighter in color than other rocks. Mafic, ultramafic and intermediate rocks contain less content of Silica. They have high content of magnesium and mostly are of dark color.
